<p>so, the harvard supplement says we can attach a list of books that we've read
being an avid reader, i decided to go with this option and include a list of the books ive read instead of an essay
but should i just list the books or do i have to include a brief summary of each book?</p>
<p>I would just list the books (and not include a summary). You could also list the books with an accompanying sentence for each about why you liked the book.</p>
<p>You might also want to differentiate which books were read for school vs which books were read for pleasure.</p>
