22

<p>Jeebs.
Anthem is a great book, once you get over how you have to read it for it to make sense. I liked it, despite having to read it for school.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of my favorite books. It is one of my favorite books of all time.</p>

23

<p>required:</p>

<p>The Stranger- Camus
The Metamorphosis- Kafka
Rebecca- DuMaurier
A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man- Joyce</p>

<p>girl with a pearl earring (read that in fifth grade) siddartha, read first few chapters, nearly threw the book across the room. i'm not reading it anymore. i dont really have to, since im changing schools, i just thought i'd get it. hmm which reminds me, i have to go look up the summer reading books for my new school.</p>

25

<p>guys, readin is overrrrrated.</p>

26

<p>Books I have read, but I am going to be reading again because my IB extended essay is foucused around them:</p>

<p>Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger
Less than Zero, Bret Easton Ellis</p>

<p>"Books" I have to read for IB Music:</p>

<p>Excursions in World Music
Bartok's Concerto For Orchestra (the score, and a book explaining it)</p>

27

<p>I read As I Lay Dying for AP Eng. Lang this year.</p>

<p>It was amazingly complicated. I loved it.</p>

28

<p>I'm gonna read everything in the public library. See if I don't.</p>

29

<p>Required:</p>

<p>"The Count of Monte Cristo" - Alexandre Dumas
"The Neverending Story" - Michael Ende (sp?) By the way, I have to read this in Spanish.</p>

30

<p>For English and history EC's, respectively:
East of Eden - John Steinbeck
1776 - David McCullough
Anyone know how they are?</p>

<p>The person who reccommended seeing Les Miserables instead of reading it is clinically insane - READ IT. Or do both. I can't believe some of you get The Count of Monte Cristo for school; it's totally entertaining and I absolutely loved it, but it's more swashbucking than intellectual in nature. I'm going to attempt to finish the Three Muskateer series this summer, those are good too.</p>

31

<p>I have to read 1776 this year for History. Somewhat interesting. We only have two weeks to read it and almost half the class didn't finish. It's a little bit dry, too much history.</p>

32

<p>I'm attempting the college-board summer reading list (101 books) but I'll only get like ten books in (I'm a crazed reading nut). Right now I'm reading Catch-22 to get an early start, and so far I'm loving it.</p>

33

<p>for 12th ap lit:</p>

<p>1984 (required)
i get to choose one book out of: anna karenina (likely), east of eden (likely), the winter of our discontent, the grapes of wrath, the cherry orchard, crime and punishment (ewww, no), as i lay dying (maybe), and the sound and the fury</p>

<p>i get to choose one play out of: a streetcar named desire (of course), hot cat on a tin roof, medea, doctor faustus, ghosts, a doll's house, hedda gabler</p>

34

<p>Setv - where can you find it? I've googled and come up with nothing...</p>
