Reading over the summer

Yes I shall hopefully read lots too, preferably some philosophy but also just literature in general from any period.

I'd like to read some more of Michael Ondaatje.

I have quite a lot of stuff to read for my course, and when you add in the books that I have had for ages but never read, I have loads to get read.

During my exams I've been book-deprived... so I'm going to read as much as possible! And maybe a few popular science books in prep for UCAS applications.

Yeah, bloody exams. Haven't read Middlemarch in around a week.

Well I'm aiming to read War and Peace and the complete works of Marx.

It's good to have a target :smile:

Well I've put off reading 'The Lovely Bones' for a long time now, maybe I'll check it out over the summer. Plus I'll need it for English Literature next year. Right now I'm reading Nineteen Eighty-Four and The Go-Between. Over the summer I plan to read Beloved (Toni Morrison) and Saturday (Ian McEwan).

Might get round to reading other books.

I have a little stack to work through. Must do some philosophical reading for personal s. Eugh.

Also must re-read Harry Potters! Can't wait for the last one!

I just want to get through the 12 unread books that are taunting me. I haven't seen my uni reading list yet.

Ah yes, I've set myself a challenge... all 6 Harry potters the day before the 7th comes out. I've worked out that I should just be able to do it.

The Lovely Bones is a great book, though it's surprising that you're doing that for English Lit - it's still quite new!

Oooh, must read Saturday too. In fact, I have about 30+ books listed that I want to read.......

I have loads of books I've been saving for after the exams; it's so nice to have the time to read them now. Especially in the sunshine. :smile:
