I planned to read The Jungle, Ethan Frome, This Side of Paradise, Frankenstein, A Tale of Two Cities, and The Outlander all for fun, but it hasn’t happened so far… I also work 40 hours a week, have piano lessons, tennis practice, and a college anthropology class to worry about. Oh and I also got the Math 1 and 2 Princeton Review subject test prep book, so I should probably read that too…</p>
