Required Summer Reading Lists Options

[YourSuperior]

Is summer reading required at your school like where they give you a list books you have to read before school starts?

For Honors English 10, we have to read To Kill A Mockingbird and Warriors Don't Cry. Plus, there's this FAT packet of work to go along with it.

Like other people on here I'm taking AP English.
So they're making me read:

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
A Lesson Before Dying
Catcher in the Rye
The Glass Menagerie
A Farewell to Arms

Dang, we had to read To Kill A Mockingbird and Catcher in The Rye for regular sophomore English -- not during the summer, during the class. Personally, I didn't like To Kill A Mockingbird, but then again I only read about half of it... As for Catcher in The Rye... Most people love it or hate it, personally, I thought it was good for a school read.

only remember 3 selections: catch me if you can, maus, and secret life of bees. i already have catch me if you can at my house so i'm probably doing that one. though, maus seems pretty cool.

I would suggest Secret Life of Bees. I just read that last month for my Contemporary American Lit class; it was such an easy read, and the book was pretty good. It has so much symbolism, it's ridiculous. If you need any help with some of it, you can google my school's site, they had a weblog for that book. Just google HCRHS Secret Life of Bees weblog.
