Summer reading anyone?

<p>Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games, other popular novels.
I also have been reading Emily Dickinson for class and found her really interesting.</p>

<p>For IB English, we have to read the Scarlet Letter and a choice novel from the College Board list, which is less than I thought we’d have to do. I’m also planning on reading the final two books of the Hunger Games in my spare time.</p>

<p>I love Emily Dickinson! maybe I’ll have time to read her over the summer since it’s just poems</p>

<p>On my list for the summer:
Tender is the Night
1984 (Required for Academic Team)
The Passion of Artemisia (Required for AP Art History)
Of Mice and Men
The Little Prince
The Boleyn Inheritance</p>

<p>Oh, and I’m hoping to reread the Harry Potter series as well.</p>

<p>I also agree that the “Gone” novels are not an A-class series. So far-fetched and they get ridiculous to even read. I couldn’t read the last one because I was so tired of them, and I hate not finishing a series.</p>

<ul>
<li>The Disappearing Spoon…</li>
<li>A Short History of Nearly Everything</li>
</ul>

<p>

that sounds like something Douglas Adams would write</p>

<p>:O I <em>LOVE</em> The Little Prince! Probably one of my favorite books. It all depends on what you take from it though.</p>

<p>AP Eng Lit
Beowulf
How to Read Literature Like a Professor
Hamlet</p>

<p>AP Comp Gov
The Future of Freedom</p>

<p>Of Mice and Men is a classic, afdamron.
You’ll love it.</p>

<p>A Little History of the World (required for AP World)
Into Thin Air (required for Honors Chem, do not know why)
The Natural (required for Honors english)</p>

<p>Those are all of my required books. Don’t know what else I’ll read</p>

<p>I have to read Lord of the Flies for Pre-AP English but other then that, I get to chose what I want to read. I’ll probably read the Game of Thrones books which I have on iBooks but I haven’t got around to read them yet. I have a road trip from Northern California to Oklahoma City in July so I’ll have plenty of time to read…</p>

<p>For school: Crime and Punishment, The Importance of Being Earnest (both for AP Lit), Survival of the Sickest (for AP Bio)</p>

<p>Independent: Confederacy of Dunces, The Blind Assassin</p>

<p>My reading list consists of going to the library and walking around till I find 8-10 interesting books, and then I go home and read them nonstop.</p>

<p>I then repeat the next week. </p>

<p>I prefer narrative nonfiction to read, however. I don’t like most teen fiction.</p>

<p>Yes. :slight_smile: and I’ve already got mine for the school program. (The Zombie Survival Guide) i also would like to finish these books:
To kill a mockingbird

<p>which books do you think help for vocab/reading comprehension in SAT?</p>

<p>I have yet to finish “Brave New World” by Alduous (I think that’s how you spell it) Huxley.</p>

<p>I’m going to start on the Song of Fire and Ice series soon, and maybe even watch the show if I have time.</p>

<p>^I’m going to do the same. I really want to start watching GoT but I don’t like watching stuff before I’ve read it.</p>

<p>Have fun with Les Mis! Honestly, the book sounds like an awful read. The Book Thief will make up for it though :)</p>

<p>Everyone should read Of Mice and Men and even though its not a “classic”, The Absolutely True Diary of Part-Time Indian is phenomenal!!</p>

<p>Some books I want to read: The Sun Also Rises (for Academic Decathlon), Tom Sawyer (just read Huck Finn in English), The Old Man & The Sea, Dracula, Frankenstein, and other classics to prepare for AP English!</p>
