Book? As in singular? psh.
^that


I have to read 5 books, two required and three from a list of college-level books.

required:

Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston
The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls

chosen from list (read these already):

Seascape by Edward Albee (weirdest and most awkward play ever >.>)
Thirteen Moons by Charles Frazier (same guy who wrote Cold Mountain)
Ulysses by James Joyce (FREAKING AMAZING)
"I lovat a gabber.  I could listen to maure and moravar again.  Regn onder river.  Flies do your float.  Thick is the life for mere." - James Joyce (Finnegans Wake, page 213)

one book? yeah right.

The Grapes of Wrath by John Stienbeck
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
and
Roger's Version by John Updike

I have less then a month to read all those books, which average about 300 pages each.
plus:
100 math questions
a history outline spanning 5 chapters
a poopload of deffinitions for U.S. history/Biology/and English
and 2 essays for Biology.

Oh and did I mention that each of those books have a "Reading response" part too.

There's no way in hell I will finish all of this.
Damn my AP classes, darn my AP teachers, and darn myself for wanting a good future D:
