<p>Just the textbook for my bio class.</p>
<p>Wake Forest: Henrik Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People"</p>
<p>I forgot to say...although I'm not planning on reading any novels, that is because I am writing one. I write on average 6-10 pages per night, and this happens about 4-5 days each week.</p>
<p>Scarletleavy, where did you find out about that book to read?</p>
<p>is it very common for colleges to give reading assignments over the summer? i am going to a LAC (grinnell) and have yet to hear about anything...THANKS FOR FREAKING ME OUT ;) (j/k)</p>
<p>but seriously, is it common?</p>

<p>Tulane University- Song of my fathers- a New Orleans story in black and white</p>
<p>ustas06: yeah most LAC's have an assignment, at least that I have heard of. My friend is also going to Grinell and he has yet to hear about one, so don't sweat it.</p>
<p>It's really common for incoming freshmen to read a book. Last year most people going to private schools that I knew had to read one for a freshman orientation class (book discussion was part of it).</p>
<p>Smith College: Mountains beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder</p>
<p>it's very common, but nothing to freak out about... just enjoy reading it! generally it will be used for freshman discussion groups, and most likely the author will come and speak, which is interesting.</p>
<p>Carleton - Persepolis, a graphic novel about growing up in Iran.</p>
<p>I loved the book that Smith College assigned...I read it within days:-)</p>
