What does everybody have to read for school this summer?

[daughter_of_amid_chaos]

For my high school I have to read:
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
The Good Earth
The Chinese Bell Murders
and a german book called Yildiz heisst Stern.

Then I have a ton of books that colleges have recommended I read before starting there next fall (of 2003).

Then I have my fun books. Overall I have about 50 books to read this summer.

So what do you guys have to read for school?

I'm going to be battling my way through Hume's 'Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding', and 'Changes in Melody and Harmony from 1350 to 1950' this summer

Marissa, really great books are Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, and 1984 by George Orwell.

[supercarrie]

I have a list of about 35 books for AP English that are recommended - he wants us to read an hour a day of something, and most of the reading should be off of the list. Some examples are...

The Catcher in the Rye
A Friend of the Earth
For Whom the Bell Tolls
The Grapes of Wrath
The Joy Luck Club...

but there are many, many more.

Plus I have a lot of reading for AP US History.
