American Studies Majors Reading List

List of recommended readings for students of American Studies at Johannes Gutenberg-University in Mainz, Germany. All poems and a number of short stories have been omitted from this list. In some cases - such as with Edgar Allen Poe - not all but only a sufficient number of stories must be read. In other cases there are alternatives, such as between the works of Faulkner or between Nobokov and Vonnegut.
