Summer reading anyone?

<p>Does anyone else have a summer reading list? I just started making mine and am curious about what everyone else would be reading :) Here's a list of my top picks:</p>

<p>Julie and Julia
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Bell Jar
Chaos Walking Series
- Knife of Never Letting Go (reread)
- The Ask and the Answer
- Monsters of Men
The Pact (reread)
The Lovely Bones
Flowers for Algernon
Cat's Cradle
Slaughterhouse 5
Breakfast of Champions</p>

<p>I already have 24 books in my to-read pile, but I particularly want to read:</p>

<p>A Tale of Two Cities
Requiem (Delirium)
Atonement
The Great Gatsby (and then I can watch the film!)
Ender’s Game
The Cousin’s War series
To Kill a Mockingbird
Le Morte d’Arthur
The Bane Chronicles
The Lord of the Rings trilogy</p>

<p>Well, I have to read Into the Wild for AP Lang, but I’ve finished it already…</p>

<p>I am planning on reading a lot this summer:</p>

<p>[ul][<em>]The Catcher in the Rye
[</em>]Fahrenheit 451
[<em>]Flyboys
[</em>]Making the Corps
[<em>]With the Old Breed
[</em>]Lord of the Flies
[/ul]</p>

<p>Well, I’d really like to finish “The Tin Drum” (I’ve been reading it off-and-on for more than a year). Other than that, I’m interested in reading “The Sea-Wolf” (huge Jack London fan) and “Gone With the Wind”</p>

<p>I’m going to catch up on the “A Song of Ice and Fire” (Game of Thrones) series.</p>

<p>As gay as it sounds, I started on the Twilight series and didn’t even read “Breaking Dawn” so I might just read that. Though the series really bored me.</p>

<p>I’ll probably re-read the Harry Potter series for the 102nd time.</p>

<p>Whenever the new Kingkiller Chronicles book comes out I’m definitely going to read that.</p>

<p>Re: Gone With the Wind…haha I read that huge book in 3 days last year when I was really sick with the flu…I didn’t feel like doing anything else…I sat in the same spot for pretty much the whole week and just read.</p>

<p>For School:
The Things They Carried
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time
Independent:
Lord of the Rings
My Sister’s Keeper
The Assistant
House of Spirits
One Hundred Years of Solitude
A Splendid Thousand Suns</p>

<p>@Secoja The Doors of Stone is probably coming out in 2014 :)</p>

<p>@Jawmess I think you mean *A Thousand Splendid Suns :)</p>

<p>I loved Hitchhiker’s Guide :smiley: I’ld make my own reading list, but I don’t think I’ll have time this summer :/</p>

<p>I’m not good at following lists so I usually don’t make them. It makes the reading seem too much like homework.</p>

<p>Im afraid I won’t have a lot of time either :frowning: but it’s nice to just think of what I would be reading if I did x)</p>

<p>I have to reread The Book Thief for school (no problem because it’s one of my favorite books), and then I have a crapload of other books that have been sitting in my room for a year that I should probably get to.</p>

<p>Books I’ve already purchased but have yet to actually read:
Waiting for Snow in Havana
The Sun Also Rises (holla at me my fellow AcaDeca competitors!)
Tenth of December
Leaving the Atocha Station
Devil in the White City
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius</p>

<p>I also need to pick up Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer, but the list above should have me set for a while.</p>

<p>Reading List:</p>

<p>I’m reading all of Hermann Hesse. And Dan Brown’s Inferno.</p>

<p>Haha, really? How so? I’ve heard the opposite.</p>

<p>I plan to read The “Gone” Series, Insurgent which has been sitting on my shelf for forever, and I will probably reread Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments for the 1,00th time.</p>

<p>DON’T READ THE CHAOS WALKING SERIES. Sorry for the all caps, but it’s a terrible series, and you’ll regret wasting your time by reading it.</p>

<p>^My 11 year old brother has just read them, and he would disagree with you.</p>

<p>I also wouldn’t recommend the Gone series. Way way way too long, becomes more far fetched and unbelievable every book, and excessively gory. I only read the first one, but it is another favourite of my little brother.</p>

<p>Actually, I’ve already read the first one and part of the second in the Chaos Walking series and thought that they were pretty good</p>
