Some American Classics?LITERATURE

Can anyone give me some examples of classic American literature? I need to choose one for my Am. Lit. class.
It also has to be one that I haven't read. So...that complicates things.

Totally agree with you >.> just finished reading The Great Gatsby in my AP English class. I hated the ending though. (spoiler alert) Gatsby just HAD to die...
