Which prompts this question, those doing Eng Lit, which texts are you studying?

We had to do Duffy throughout GCSE's and for the first year of A-Level. Her poetry is written so blatantly though (I guess as a way to slide herself into the childrens' textbooks) so it can be easy to analyse. The Handmaid's Tale is so depressing though but I love Streetcar! We did The Glass Menagerie first year and adored it, Williams is a God.
Aside from that my favourites from A-Level were indefinitely Miller's 'Death of a Salesman', 'The Kite Runner' and 'Death of a Salesman', the latter two of which I just chose to study myself.

English marking is so sporadic, I think I was lucky that everything on that day just went perfectly for me
