neutral  Melzie: oui pour manuels obligatoires, mais non pour lectures car il ne s'agit pas uniqument de la 'litérature' (dans le sens le plus large) dans ce contexte seulement

  -> "Books" est néanmoins le terme employé

ouevres au programme


Explanation:
'manuels' are text books, 'set books' are what you study within, say, a literature course. Will be back with a site reference

This site reference will give you 'OUVRAGES au programme'
ftp://trf.education.gouv.fr/pub/edutel/bo/2006/special3/MENP...
'oeuvres au programme' is generally used: however, on second thoughts, given the context above, maybe 'manuel' is an option; in which case, I would say the English was perhaps a little imprecise.... But Alice, you will know which one is more appropriate to the context.
