Summer Reading List

As most of you know, I have been working as a school based therapist for graduate school. Well, as the year winds down, the kids are winding UP! Most days its mayhem and my sessions end up being about who hit who and why. Anyway, I took two kids to the library the other day to give them a break as they were heating things up. As they looked up their favorite rap artists on the web and proceeded to play the videos loudly...I took a breathier a wandered through the tiny volume of books they have. I decided to make myself a a summer reading list. So much of my brain power lately has been taken up with reading that I HAVE to do so I decided to give myself a list of books to be completed by the end of summer. Most of the books I read in high school and are still classics and I am excited to read again, some I never have and am looking forward to sitting on my back porch and have lazy summer days. I am actually thinking of purchasing all of them because one day I am sure Maggie will be required (or want) to read them. Here's my list. Give me suggestions and let me know if you have any books that you like to pull out in the summer....

Things Fall Apart
A raisan in the sun
Farenheit 451
A Separate Peace
Heart of Darkness
As I lay dying
The Pearl
The house of Mango Street
The chosen (one of my favs!)
Anne Frank:Diary of a young girl
Beowulf
