This is a super old thread! I have been going through the threads i started and came across this one. I didnt post my sophomore reading list, but I'm going to be a Junior (upper class woot woot!)In 2 months! My reading list for this coming year isnt that bad actually.
Of Mice and Men
The Picture of Dorian Gray
GamePro

I've read Of mice and men when I was in school for my english-list, it's by Steinbeck right? It's a good choice very easy read, very obvious moral, motives etc.etc.
The only books I read nowadays are books about training, nutritients, supplements etc. Most of them are in english difficult technical english, but at least it somewhat improves my english. You can't tell...I'm affraid...but it does

Actually I think your reading list is quite good!

If you're bringing back this summer book discussion, I must say: I have many to read! I bought them and I can't wait to finish them all. But, the latest book I'm reading at the moment, Glamorama B.E.Ellis, is making me feel a little uncomfortable. Don't know if it's a coincidence, but last night after reading it for more than two hours, I couldn't sleep and kept on feeling terrible and today I feel a bit nauseated by the thought of it

Snake, Dorian Gray is a great book, but not everybody likes the genre. Anyway, it's one of my faves, it's really amazing.

I have dorian grey on my desk but I've yet to read it. Mainly because I've re-read harry potter. My summer reading consists of a ton of books about the rise of the Nazi party as I prepare to head back to Uni. I want 'tales of a scorched earth' (biography of the pumpkins) and I have 'Love Shaped Story' by Tommaso Pincio to read. Also I wish to re-read 'Educating Peter' by Tom Cox again and also 'Going Out' by Scarlett Thomas because they are both absolutely brilliant and were the high point of last summer which was otherwise rubbish.

In my own time, I'm reading Watership Down (I'm really slow at reading some books when I'm busy... I think I started this about Christmas time ^^). A2 English Literature work also requires me to read William Shakespeare - Measure for Measure, Annie Proulx - Postcards and Stella Gibbons - Cold Comfort Farm... but the course comes with a whole load of extra baggage...

For CCF, we have to read Mary Webb - Precious Bane (a ridculously morbid book, that veers-off on a tangent and leaves me wondering "WTF?"), D.H.Lawrence - The Rainbow (I hear that I don't want to know how many pages that is) and Emily Bronte - Wuthering Heights (which thankfully we already read last year. I was one of the minority that really liked it ^^). And then, we have to do a Synoptic Paper on the genre of books that Postcards falls under... so we have to read about 3 books and know about 10 more.

I have about 10 - 15 books lying around unread right now... tbh, Its a good job that I like collecting books as much as I like reading the damned things!
