Yay for all those awesome Shakespeare plays and hehe, I'm hoping to revisit <i>One Hundred Years of Solitude</i> sometime this summer but we'll see.

I'm new to the blogging community with my blog only a month old, and it took me over a week to figure out how to comment on your blog with my WordPress account, or I would have commented sooner! LOL! Anyway, your posts are great, and some of them crack me up because they hit too close to home! I'd love to link up one week if I can think of enough things to write and find the time to do it :)<br /><br />I empathize with you and all the readings you have to do although it seems like you have a more work preparing for back to school than I do! I teach college English classes (community college: American Lit I, British Lit I & II, and World Lit II) although there is a debate going on right now if I'm actually going to teach World Lit and British Lit II for fall semester since I returned to school myself last semester to complete my PhD and feel the need for more balance in my life! Teaching, attending school, and finding time to spend my 3 kids and my hubby feels like I'm trying to corral kittens! <br /><br />Your students do a lot over the summer, which I think is fantastic! I'm extremely impressed. Do you teach advanced placement classes or is the school an IB school? I promise that I'm not trying to be nosy! I'm just fascinated by all the summer work! My middle son just finished his junior year yesterday, and I wish they had given them summer work for English or any class, but he has nothing assigned. It baffles me because I remember getting summer work in high school. I think I'm going to follow some of assignments you mentioned above for your students and give my son some "summer work" for English! He will hate me, but he needs to be prepared since he is in AP English senior year.<br /><br />I must apologize for such a long comment! Now that I know how to use WordPress to comment on Blogger, I shouldn't be so long-winded next time (No, I'm a huge talker, so no promises)! Enjoy your day!

I was too busy reading my own books. But I few I read for summer reading over the years did end up being favorites and are some of the books I remember best from my school days.
