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. >Homework. |

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

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?

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.

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. |
