what's your summer reading list looking like? i'm kinda late on this topic.
Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand The Maltese Falcon - Dashiell Hammett Thinking with Type - Ellen Lupton others that i can't think of at the moment but will add to this later. cross out what you've read and highlight what you're reading and we'll make this thread a running list kinda thingy. |

I was going to make a topic asking how to stay focused on summer reading... I'm currently on procrastination station.. and the train is just not coming.
I have to read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare (this book looks like it will be horrid.. it's a play  )also, our whole school has to read the same book.. but I don't know if we're even being tested on it (?) so I don't think I'm going to read it.

QUOTE(emberfly @ Jun 26 2009, 03:12 PM)  Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare (this book looks like it will be horrid.. it's a play )Dude, that play was awesome! Beatrice and Benedick's relationship is so funny and quite enviable... I love it. I really do hope you read it with an open mind. And you might want to watch the 1993 film adaptation (starring Emma Thompson, Kate Beckinsale, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves, etc); it really helped me with understanding the complex dialogue. |
