<p>im not going to read my books until late august b/c last year I read them in july and no longer remembered most of the details by the time school started</p>
<p>AP US:</p>
<p>The Jungle - Upton Sinclair
Founding Brothers - Joseph Ellis</p>
<p>I usually read through the books in July, then use Sparknotes to refresh my memory right before school starts. However, Founding Brothers is quite boring so far.</p>
<p>I personally like the book. At first, i thought that it wouldn't interest me, but i was wrong. Yes, it's a fast read. that was one fo the reasons i chose it. The other choices were too long.</p>

<p>kinglin- yeah i did during the school year. the first few chapters were tough to get through, but i liked the book overall. also there's a movie out, a simple twist of fate, with steve martin. the plot is basically the same, but i think that the characters' names are changed.</p>

i have to read one from each of the genres:

euripides/ Medea
Ibsen/Hedda Gabler
Drama: hellman/ The Children's Hour
Austen/ Pride and Prejudice
British Novels: hardy/ The Return of the Native

Steinbeck/ Grapes of Wrath
American Novels:
sinclair/the jungle
chopin/ the awakening
morrison/ sula
Contemp. Novels:
Atwood/ The Handmaid;s Tale
Hurston/ Their Eyes were watching God</p>
<p>What do you think I should read in the British Novel and Classical Drama genre? preferably short and interesting....haha.</p>
<p>I would read Jane Eyre since I'm reading it right now and I love it. :) Although, it is very long, it has a very engaging plot that won't bore you. It's a good, fun read, honestly. </p>
<p>I don't read much of classical drama so I can't really comment on that. Medea by Euripides is suppposedly very good but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>thanks Cryptic! How long do you think it would take you to finish it?</p>
<p>their eyes were watching god
the stranger
a lesson before dying</p>
<p>ooh the stranger. I read that in french class. (in french)</p>
<p>IB English:</p>
<ul>
<li>Life and Death in Shanghai</li>
</ul>
<p>I actually just finished Jane Eyre right now. It's a long book, a bit over 500 pages with a miniscule font size. I think it took me about a week and a half to finish it with a couple of hours of reading every other day. If you really don't feel like reading a long book, you might want to switch to something else but I honestly love the book.</p>
