Question: Summer Reading. What was your favorite book that you were REQUIRED to read when you were in school?
Answer: As I went to high school in the 80s, I really don't remember my requried summer reads. However, I do remember some of my college required reading. I remember reading The Great Gatsby and falling in love with F. Scott Fitzgerald. Also I loved Walden by Henry David Thoreau.
Hi Kinx - just found you via Parajunkee's. I'm starting to feel like I need to give The Great Gatsby a second read. I don't think speed reading it in 10th grade did the book justice. Maybe your rec will be the motivation I need ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I love Walden!! (I didn't read it in class I read it on a camping trip after high school...)

I enjoyed The Great Gatsby too, had forgotten that it was a forced read until I saw it here!
ReplyDeleteReally wish I could remember if I had a required summer reading list.

I wasn't required to read either of those books, but I read them both outside of class and liked them.
