Among my summer projects (along with nannying and giving voice lessons to several darling little girls) is to read rather voraciously. Dr. Foreman gave me some Hawthorne and James books (I'm currently entrenched in The Portrait of a Lady), and I just spend 120 graduation dollars at Books a Million. Here's my summer reading list:
The Portrait of a Lady (Henry James)
The American (Henry James)
East of Eden (John Steinbeck)
War and Peace (Leo Tolstoy)
The Brothers Karamazov (Fyodor Dostoevsky)
Toujours Provence (Peter Mayle)
500 Days of Solitude (Gabriel Garcia Marquez)
Candide (Voltaire... Dual-Language, to practice ze French)
The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
Nausa (Jean-Paul Sartre)
Amsterdam (Ian McEwan)
Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor
Rather ambitious... yes? It is rather probable that I shan't finish this list until well into the winter, but I have at least some literature to keep me occupied on college. =) For a pre-Law English major will have lots of spare time, correct?
