<p>What did everyone have for summer reading? </p>
<p>My stuff:</p>
<p>The Road - one of my favorite books</p>
<p>The Scarlet Letter - awful</p>
<p>Fast Food Nation - didn't read</p>
<p>Fast Food Nation is amazing. I love that book. I haven't read it in a long time though. </p>
<p>I was suppose to have that crappy sci-fi book Dune for summer reading but the teachers cancelled it because the school didn't have enough books to pass out to everyone in the classes.</p>
<p>Pride and Prejudice
A Thousand Splendid Suns (had to read The Kite Runner freshman year)
The Book Thief
Any 2 books by British authors, I picked:
Summerhill, this book about a democratic school in Great Britain
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows</p>
<p>pride and prejudice, which was... well, pride and prejudice. (i have to say, it's better the second time around.) and... what else? oh yeah, cannery row. i love that book.</p>
<p>I had six short stories and 90 pages of AP world textbook + outlines, all of which I didn't actually do so I guess it doesn't count.</p>
<p>Other than that, I've tried reading Harry Potter the third book, Prisoner of Azkeban, took me like a month and a half to get through 100 pages and then I just gave up.</p>
<p>Eek! I love The Scarlett Letter! I read it over the summer before 8th grade (for fun) and then used it for an 8th grade paper. We read it in class just last year.</p>
<p>Catch-22: I read maybe 50 pages
Tartuffe: Read it, was pretty good
In the Wild: didn't read</p>
<p>My English teacher is... I don't know, crazy. So I don't really have to do anything. But she has the same (very high) AP passage rate as the other 11 AP teacher who makes her students write a paper a day, so who cares.</p>
<p>Apart from the obvious, I spent most of my summer reading:</p>
<p>The</a> Best Page In The Universe.</p>
<p>Far better than any novel ever written, bar none.</p>
<p>^ How could anyone read only 50 pages of Catch-22 and put it down?!</p>
<p>Over the summer, I read Frankenstein, American Political Tradition, Howard Zinn, and the second volume of American Vistas.</p>
<p>Yes, the latter three are all for a history class. I liked Political Tradition the most. Zinn is refreshingly revisionistic at first, but he started to get redundant.</p>
<p>I had to read The Picture of Dorian Gray and Steppenwolf (ugh) for English Lit. I don't remember what other books I read.</p>
