Who has to do assignments over the Summer? Thats messed up.

Java

Metamorphosis by Frank Kafka.

It's only 60 pages and strangely the only book I have to read.

I'm only on Page 2. D:

Quite possibly the worst novella ever written.

Also, I don't have to do any summer reading, though I'm getting started on Japan: A Modern History so that I'll have a headstart in Hist 242.

No wonder she assigned only one, short book.

Why is it bad? Is it boring?

A guy wishes for change in his mundane existence, so he wakes up and he's an insect. And no one will accept him except the family servant and he becomes emo and his life is bawwwwwwwwwww and then he dies

To quote the great Max Bialystock from The Producers while he's searching for the worst play ever written: "One morning, Gregor Samsa awoke to discover that he had been transformed into a gigantic cockroach! [pause] Nah, too good."

Nope, I don't. :)
I hate having to read books for school. Heck, I don't like reading books out of boredom either. :P
I'll keep putting it off for as long as I can, until finally I need to cram over the whole weekend to finish.
YEAH

I didn't have to read any. But I read Hamlet (because I have to read it in school next year, thought I'd get a head start), The Scarlet Letter (Same) and The Gilded Age. Other than that, it's strictly Calvin and Hobbes for me. XD

Two Little Girls in Blue - Mary Higgens Clark
Holy crap all my sigs were always poop. Best leave this space alone.

I read J.R.R Tolkein's Lord of the rings trilogy and the Hobitt for fun....

Not for any assignment, but I did read Return of the King and now currently reading Deathly Hollows.

Even though I know the end already.

I dunno.  "Supposedly" have a summer reading list, but my school is retarded, and only passed it out to a few random people, so I'm not gonna bother. =P

But I did read "Shades of Simon Gray" out of bordom. Not the best book I've ever read, but still pretty good.

The eye that looks ahead to the safe course is closed forever.
