It's vaguely hysterical that this is really exciting to me.

I got my summer reading list for English today.

Required: The Writing Life, by Annie Dillard.

And then I have to choose two of these:

The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
The Scarlet Letter
The Kitchen God's Wife
My Antonia
The Sun Also Rises
The Grapes of Wrath
To Kill a Mockingbird
Intruder in the Dust


I've already read To Kill a Mockingbird, and of the others, I'll probably read Grapes of Wrath or Scarlet Letter, because I've been planning on both for a while, and this is as good of a chance as any.

Actually, it'll almost certainly be Scarlet Letter, because I know where my copy of that is.

Yay for summer reading.

ETA: So, according to the comments, My Antonia is both excellent and horrible, the Grapes of Wrath is mind-numbingly boring, well written, and interesting, and the Scarlet Letter...is not worth commenting on, apparently.

I love people. XD
