Heart of Darkness was a standard fixture in that course syllabus. I think it was maybe the second or third thing we read in the year. It was like that, Moby Dick, King Lear iirc. He crammed all of the AP course prep into about 4 weeks and used rest of year for good books

high school english teachers ought to be able to choose the books they assign
