I have to read Lord Brocktree this summer. I like the redwall series so this is a plus. But I don't really like this one as much as the other ones I read. :smt064

An old book called Winesburg, Ohio. It is a bunch of short stories loosely linked together, I am about half way done. It isn't acutally that bad, to my suprise.

I don't have to read a damn thing. :D
As you can tell I'm how of school and so don't have to do summer reading. I wasn't a huge fan of it, but usually the books weren't THAT bad. That is until high school. Then they just sucked for the most part except for like 1 of them maybe, all the rest were basically girls books.
As for me though I work at Barnes & Noble so I get a 30% discount on books so once I get some money I am going to be buying a bunch of books to read. Mostly a bunch of Star Wars books, and then some other various stuff like history or whatever. I'm also going to pick up a copy of The Illiad and the Odessey since I saw the movie for it years and years ago then just resaw it during the spring.

Yeah I really enjoyed it, it is a nice change of pace from the books I have had to read for past summers for AP classes.

For me I'm going to start reading The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. Basically its all of his plays, poems, sonnets, everything. All of them take up 1250 pages......hardcover. So that means bigger pages, paperback it would probably be close to 2,000 pages, and probably to many pages for a binding to actually stay on. That should take me a couple of months at least depending on how often I read and for how long. Heh I'm also starting a 750 piece puzzle. :D

I only read for leisure these days since I'm out of school. I don't read often but try to get in three or four books a year. I usually read three or four books a year. I've read the "Da Vinci Code" and am reading "Life of Pi" right now. Aside from fiction, I try to read books on life, history, and philosophy....
If you liked "1984," "A Brave New World" is a good book to read along those same lines.
