<p>Suggestions? We just have to read one of the following:
The Stranger by Albert Camus
The Awakening by Kate Chopin
Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison</p>
<p>And we all have to read A Respectable Trade by Philippa Gregory. Anyone read it yet? What did you think?</p>
<p>I haven’t read The Stranger, but it sounds interesting, and I would give it a try.</p>
<p>I’ve read The Stranger. I personally enjoyed the book, but it’s definitely not for everyone. It has a very pessimistic and dark mood/attitude. It’s a short, odd book that I would recommend.</p>
<p>The Stranger is an excellent existentialist read. I haven’t read The Awakening, but I have read a short story by Kate Chopin called Story of An Hour. She uses a lot of vivid imagery and she’s a feminist. But I haven’t read the Awakening, so thats all I know. </p>
<p>haha I finished high school this week and I’m sad I don’t have any summer reading. I think I’ll read some books on the lists in these forums that I haven’t read yet.</p>
<p>The Glass Castle
some short story
A Separate Peace
Wonderland
Blink
How to Read Lit like a Professor</p>

<p>The best book I read throughout my entire high school career was The Stranger.</p>
<p>I read The Stranger last year and really enjoyed it. It is written in a language that is easy to understand and is pretty short, so you shouldn’t have any trouble getting through it in no time.</p>
<p>We get to choose 1 book out of 94.
And then the other book we have to read is either</p>
<p>Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
or
Watership Down</p>
