A Streetcar Named Desire - Tennessee Williams
Their Eyes Were Watching God - Zora Neale Hurston

Great Gatsby and Eyes Were Watching God both suck badly.

I had to read A Raisin in the Sun for Honors English II.

Wasn't too bad.

My teacher made us check out the books in the school library but she'd show us the movie and not bother with the books after that.

Aaah the days of AP US History... ~~Get the intercourse out of that class while you can! It's MINDRAPE!~~ Didn't have to read anything over the summer for it though.

AP English 12: We have to pick a book from a list then write five journals on it. I read The Piano Lesson... but those journals will probably be done next week sometime... I think. >.>;

The Great Gatsby wasn't bad. ~~But man, that Daisy was a ninny, and Gatsby dies.~~

I have to read Revolutionary Mothers for AP US History. D:

I don't read when I don't have to.

Kurt Vonnegut is BA, just to let you know. Water gets three hundred points for knowing this.
