Books books books.

Since my second session of summer classes got cancelled... I'm gonna need something to distract me. I figured, why not start reading again?

Question for the comments:
what should I read this summer?

The Guardians by Ana Castillo is pretty good, I read it for a culture study project and it's not in Spanish but there are references also, The House of the Scorpion is more YA but it's good :)...

Some other more modern classics:

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseni

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

I felt like I had to comment because I totally relate to everything you talked about. But I still haven't finished Pride and Prejudice :/....

oh man. i remember flowers for algernon.

i loved that book <3

[FantasyObsessed]

The House of Night Series, the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, The Hollow Kingdom Trilogy, the Night World series, His Dark Materials. Those are all amazing books XD

I tried reading Wuthering Heights too (actually, I was supposed to read if for my senior paper...oops), it was really hard to get into =/

[reinix]

Yes, Wuthering Heights is hard to get into. Maybe when I have... patience I'll read it, haha.

Thanks for the suggestions!

why not pick a spanish-speaking author for a spanish book? I usually hate translations, so I try to read the original language if I can (book piracy ftw!)

I just chose harry potter cause it's an easy read. Gotta start off somewhere. But yeah, I always wanted to read the original version of 100 Years of Solitude. So maybe I'll try that instead.

I really enjoyed Jane Eyre. It is my my favorite book by far although it has a lot of descriptive text. If you can get through that, I'm pretty sure you will like it.

Wolves of Mercy Falls deserves more credit, its a great book series! Hunger Games are great. . . I LOVE Looking for Alaska! And of course Harry Potter and Twilight are amazing as ever!

Try Jane Eyre, I found it easier to get through than Austen & Wuthering Heights.

Reading half a book is better than none. Perhaps you're reading above your literacy level and should try something simpler with lots of plot.
