I used to dread summer reading all through elementary school until the end of high school, always saving it until the last minute, sometimes avoiding it all together. I never would have guessed that I would be making a reading list on my own for summer. I really don't know if I'll be able to read them all, but after asking friends, family, and other travelers about some of their favorite books here is my summer reading list:
1. Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey
2. On the Road by Jack Kerouac
3. Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
4. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
5. 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel GarcĂa
6. Boy in Striped Pajamas by John Boyne
7. One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
8. The Journey to the East by Herman Hesse
9. Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut
*Please let me know if you have other recommendations!

So 60's and so serious. Get in a Jane Austen. Persuasion is my favorite.
