<p>jUST WONDERING WHAT ARE SOME GOOD BOOKS TO READ OVER THE SUMMER? FOR SPARE TIME, THAT ARENT RELATED TO SCHOOL? LAST SUMMER I READ THE LIFE OF PI, 1984, AND A FEW OTHERS..HAVE ANY IDEAS OR THOUGHTS??</p>

2

<p>WELL FIRST YOU COULD TRY TURNING OFF CAPS LOCK.</p>

<p>Then you could read Brave New World, We, and A Clockwork Orange (all good books in a similar vein as 1984, all dystopian novels).</p>

3

<p>It depends. Since its not school and they're not shoving books down your throat, read something you like. I've been reading a ton of football books, biographies, that type of thing.</p>

<p>I'm also reading a book called Cracked, which is about drug addiction. Not so much because I have problems, or know those with problems, but I'm a big fan of the author Dr. Drew Pinsky. It really gives you a perspective on things.</p>

4

<p>His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman if you like scifi. I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak is also a good teen read.</p>

5

<p>read iWoz</p>

<p>or A Man Without a Country by Kurt Vonnegut</p>

6

<p>grapes of wrath, angelas ashes, cry the beloved country, and siddhartha.</p>

7

<p>I plan on reading Lolita and Don Quixote during the summer. I've been wanting to read them for a while, but school has gotten in the way.</p>

8

<p>harry potter and the deathly hallows :D</p>

9

<p>^^^I was just about to say that!!!! READ HARRY POTTER!!!!!!</p>

10

<p>Read "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden and "Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini.</p>

11

<p>Errr. Well I'm rereading To Kill A Mockingbird because I read it in 8th grade and I think I was too young to really get the most out of the book. Then there's my summer reading book - East of Eden. Steinbeck is cool. </p>

<p>You can also be lazy and read magazines and trashy teen novels. That's always fun.</p>

12

<p>yes, paperhat!! i read the gossipgirl and AList series until i get disgusted with trashy teen lit, and then i read something like lolita.</p>

<p>check out kurt vonnegut, the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy (very funny), extremely loud and incredibly close, or the his dark materials series.</p>

13

<p>wow gossip girls..idk think so</p>

14

<p>Ender's Game and all it's sequels/companion books</p>

15

<p>haha I love my chick lit</p>

<p>I like to read fun stuff during the summer. There are a bunch of movies I want to see that were originally books and I like to read the books before watching the movies so for me my list includes:
Little Children
Notes on a Scandal
Namesake
Lipstick Jungle
The Black Dahlia</p>

<p>other fun books I want to read this summer include:
Fever 1793 (I read this in 6th grade, but I want to read it again)
Blue Bloods
The Other Boleyn Girl
Fever Pitch
Blonde</p>

<p>and Harry Potter of course!</p>

16

<p>yes...</p>

<p>I second all four Ender books and all four Been books by Orson Scott Card</p>

<p>oh and iWoz is by Steve Wozniak</p>

17

<p>Agree with chocolatelover03 about "Kite Runner." Its a great book but the dude wrote another book as well. Im reading that one right now :p. Hope to finish it soon before i get my car back :p</p>

18

<p>wait, sorry it's the Bean series not the Been series XD</p>

19

<p>Read anything by Kurt Vonnegut! It's all amazing!</p>

<p>I didn't like Kurt Vonnegut. I just read Slaughterhouse Five. He wasn't that great of a writer IMO.</p>
