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
