These are all "AP level" books. I’m interested in books about lying, betrayal, juicy things. Murders, mysteries, those are good too. I really have no idea what any of these books are about, & there are just way too many for me to research them all. So if you could tell me which of these looks like I would enjoy, that’d be great. And by easiest to read, I mean like easy to understand. Shakespeare is a little difficult, & I don’t want it to be boring.

WOW! That’s a very long list.

I’ve only read antigone, the crucible, lord of the flies, merchant of venice, of mice & men, romeo & juliet and Things fall apart. Also, For Drama I had to memorize a scene from diviners and macbeth (but i never read the whole thing). Of all of those the crucible is the best in my opinion. 2nd is lord of the flies and then romeo & juliet. Hope that helps.

the kite runner is an amazing book!
i would definitely recommend you read that

No one has better lying and cheating than Othello. Othello is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare around 1603. The play tells the story of a powerful general of the Venetian army, Othello, whose life and marriage are ruined by a conniving, deceitful, and envious soldier, Iago.
