> Humanities 10a will tentatively include works by Homer, Sophocles, Sappho, Plato, Dante, Shakespeare, Descartes, Mary Shelley, Marx, Kafka, Du Bois, and Morrison.

I had read all of these authors before college, with the exception of Sappho/du Bois - which feel like "modern" additions to a traditional survey - but my school was good about classics and American lit.

What are high school kids assigned to read these days, if not these authors?
