<p>I was just wondering what books everyone is readign for the summer this year. For my school we have to read Grapes of Wrath by John Steinback!! I havent even started reading it yet.. Well post away your summer reading</p>

<p>The Kite Runner is awesome...</p>
<p>I have to read:
Bowling Alone
Brave New World
Cry, the Beloved Country
Sophocles</p>
<p>not cool</p>
<p>The Kite Runner is a GREAT book in my opinion!! Brave New World I read that book last year It was ok, a bit slow in the beginning..</p>
<p>the kite runner is awesome....brave new world is alright, kinda cool....and grapes of wrath is pretty straightforward and although it seems kinda long, you can get it done pretty quickly</p>
<p>i have to read....Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie</p>
<p>Autobiography of Malcolm X</p>
<p>Brave New World is AMAZING. I wrote my junior thesis on it. I had read Grapes of Wrath last summer, most students didn't like but I enjoyed</p>
<p>For my senior year I'm taking stupid English and we get to read Dan Brown's Angel and Demons</p>
