Well, I am finally done with classes for this semester. True, I have three finals (one double-essay, one 1-pg single space response, and one scantron) as well as a 15 page thesis to write (all due Monday), but I can't help feeling a bit of release from the pressures and extreme stress of this semester. The good news is that I finally found a job (though I am still going to try to find a second job for the summer), so I actually have ALL of the next 5 days to focus wholly on finals.
But the real reason for this post is to say that it's FINALLY that time of year when I can start picking out my summer book line-up. I'm soooo excited to be able to get some reading for pleasure in again! Here's what's on the list so far:
The Chosen - Chiam Potok
A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens
Mansfield Park - Jane Austen
Peter Pan - J.M. Barrie
Agnes Grey - Anne Bronte
Emma - Jane Austen
And of course Harry Potters 4-6 (in preparation for the movie).
I also want to add some books that have been published more recently - any suggestions?????
P.S. To anyone that hasn't read Ender's Game yet... I HIGHLY recommend that you do that this summer. It's fantastic.

I've heard good things about Ender's Game. Perhaps I'll crack it open this summer...

We're going to CA for the summer. Cardon has a job in LA, so we'll live with my family and his family. Are you going to be there at all or are you going to be in UT???!!!
and what is this Ender's Game about? I am looking for a good book for the summer.
Good lucks with all your finals!
