<p>I love when you get assigned summer reading of a book you know! It's only happened to me once but it was the best summer of my life. Next best is being assigned a book you wanted to get around to eventually.</p>
<p>Haha, suggested reading. I wanted to work through my APUSH suggested fiction reading list last year. I got ten pages into Last of the Mohicans...</p>
<p>My AP english supposedly prepares you for both tests. Whatever that means.</p>

"A Farewell to Arms"
"When the Emperor was Divine"</p>
<p>For AP Euro.:
"Candide"</p>
<p>For AP World:
"Collapse"</p>
<p>A farewell to arms is a depressing book</p>
<p>We never had summer reading in high school. Though, GT has an optional summer reading assignment (that I prob won't do) on the book "Germs, Guns, and Steal".</p>
<p>Rising Junior:</p>
<p>The Things They Carried
Mona in the Promised Land</p>

<p>Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
Foe by J.M. Coetzee
"Crusoe in England" by Elizabeth Bishop</p>
<p>Anyone see a pattern? xP</p>
<p>And then stuff out of the textbook for AP Euro.</p>
<p>It's funny, though, 'cause I had to read five books for summer reading last year. I don't know why they didn't make us read a book for AP Euro.</p>
<p>For Senior AP Lit: </p>
<p>A Prayer for Owen Meany</p>
<p>...lucky me</p>
<p>For AP English Lang:
"A Room of One's Own" Viginia Woolf
Return of the Native Thomas Hardy
Much Ado About Nothing Will S.
Frankenstein Mary Shelley</p>
<p>Excited about Frankenstein because I LOVE Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein, and the play is cool because it in playing in Canada, not far from where I live.</p>
<p>And I have to do some problems for AP Chemistry(yay!)</p>
<p>Good luck with life of PI. I warn you, it will be extremely tedious during the first half of the book. The author had to punish us with the monotonous language and lack of characters. I was hoping that Pi died already. It gets very good once the raft part is over.</p>
