1st AP reading list choice/reason

I have chosen to read Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
My first instinct in choosing this book was based on the fact that it is one of the most frequently cited books on the AP test.  However after further investigation I found that the novel seemed to spark an interest in me.  Although I read merely a brief sentence or two about the book, it grabbed my attention.  I thoroughly enjoy history, especially when portrayed through the lens of a talented writer.  I hope that I not only enjoy this novel but take in all the powerful historical aspects that it has to offer.
