Summer reading is the Devil
10 Honors The Good Earth-Pearl S. Buck The Count of Monto Cristo Ethan Frome A Seperate Peace the only would I would suggest is a seperate peace. The good earth was decent until the main character told his wife she was ugly and bought a whore to live in his house.. |

For my high school, i have to read Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbins, and There Are No Children Here by Kotlowitz. i read them already fo my 11 Amer. Lit class. no bad of books. i would recommend There Are No Children Here. u get a crash corse on urban poverty, violence, the projects and gangs in 1980's Chicago. really good book. also for fun reads i would totally recommend these for the girls:
*Gossip Girl novels (all 5 are soooo good!) *Confessions of a Shopaholic novels *This Lullaby *Sloppy Firsts novels *Can You Keep a Secret? and the *Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontle Snogging novels <---HILARIOUS! there ya go! these aughta keep u busy over the summer! all are fantastic reads. |
