Ok, so I have to read 2 of these 4 books for my english class next year. I could use some input. The list contains -
A Tale of Two Cities
A Time to Kill
Once and Future King
Gulliver's Travels
I've heard of all but the last book and we probably have at least 2 of them. Anyway, anyone read any of these?

A Time to Kill is a damn good book.
This should probably be moved to homework, though.

I only read two out of the four you mentioned

, but I really liked The Once and Future King. The whole "might is right" thing made me think.

I've heard of all of those but haven't read any of them. I have to read The People's History of the United States amongst seven others this summer.
dear. god. I thought this was summer.

DON'T READ A TALE OF TWO CITIES.I read it this year for english. I will read anything, from magazines and awesome books to encyclopedias and the ingredients of cheerios. But I could
not finish that book.
My two cents

Read A Time to Kill and A Tale of Two Cities.
Dickens will blow your mind.

I read that during the year. It's a tough book, but once I finished it I decided I liked the story. It was just hard to read

Tale of Two Cities was long, but I actually liked it. But I dunno, what kind of work do you need to do with the books that you have read?

I would read Gulliver's Travels and A Time To Kill.
emazing

Lucky you.
I wish I was assigned a summer reading list; I get bored easily and books often helps kill time.
Ironically speaking, you should try A Time to Kill.

The first two are good books. A Time To Kill and A Tale Of Two Cities.

You're lucky you got a choice of 4 books. I had a choice of 3. I read 1 and I hate 1 of them, but I'm already pretty far in it. I'd go with Gulliver's Travels. It seems like the most interesting, fantastic story (I have the movie).

I still suggest A Time to Kill and A Tale of Two Cities.
The writing is most quality.
Mainly because I think Once and Future King is written poorly, and Gulliver's Travels even worse.
