It's just World Literature Honors: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

ThisCouldBeHeavn

I might have to read Multivariable Calculus by James Stewart. Not sure though, it depends on Financial Aid.

TrueLies

We haven't gotten our summer reading list yet for AP English.

I read A Tale of Two Cities in 9th, I think that was a little to early to read to appreciate the book.

For AP English Language and Composition:

1. Angela's Ashes

2. The Color of Water

3. Hiroshima


And with each book we have to write an associated essay with it. A friend told me we also have to write 10 journal entries for each one, but it didn't mention any of that on the letter we got for the class so I'm not even gonna bother doing it.

I have to read "Gifted Hands". Well my school just ended and I am already dying to start reading that book. It just sounds so great!

My school has some really extensive summer reading. For AP English Language I have:
-Savage Inequalities by Kozol
-Ella Minow Pea by Dunn (this book doesn't sound too legit)
-The Catcher in the Rye
For APUSH I have:
-The Grapes of Wrath
-The Feminine Mystique
-Silent Spring
-Alas, Babylon
-March by Brooks

I'm not sure I'll even get it all done considering I've also got 3 chapters of stats, 4 chapters of APUSH, a college class, and an internship, but whatever, I'll fit it in.

^Good lord...I'd die. You have to read all of those? Jesus.

I understand the AP Lang, that's a normal load.

But I only had APUSH summer work, as in, doing the first few chapters in the workbook, a few essays, and such, not extensive reading.

The only books my class read were How the Other Half Lives,The Jungle, The Killer Angels, and Uncle Tom's Cabin. And all of those were for extra credit...

I can't imagine having to read all of those books. Some of them are pretty lengthy and complex.

For AP Lit I only have:
Mythology by Hamilton
Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns
Frankenstein by Mary Shelly

Plus some study questions.

However, I will be tested on all of these books, so I need to read them well.

MetalMeatwad

Alas, Babylon lol why read that for APUSH? I read it, good book, but seriously that's pointless.

fuzzyfirebunny

Bwahahahahahahahahaha. For IB English we have like these 3 gigantic books...which I havent even looked at, urgh.
And for AP Lit all we had to do was read Crime and Punishment. But most teachers give you a month/a few weeks at the beginning of the year to do it, yea?
