read all the books on my summer reading list before school starts again

Sigh, sigh, sigh.
So much work, so little time.
Where has my summer gone?
I feel a frown coming on but it has to be done – again.

Well, maybe every single thing except the dreaded “stay sane” thing, but hey we can’t have it all can we? :]

3 weeks ‘till the 21st of August, here I go!

so i’ve finished Bury My Heart and The DaVinci Code. Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee was just depressing and repetitive. i wanted to know what the book talked about, but the way it was written bored me. and i liked but didn’t like The DaVinci Code. it was written at a ninth-grade level, at the highest. but the story was all right, i guess. sheesh, i’m so mean to books :-/

Idk. However, one of the things on my reading list this summer, was a sermon about “sinners in the hands of an angry God”, and as fasinated as it sounds, I had tried reading it a couple times and never got through it until yesterday. I visited the link at the bottom on the last page, and actually found the sermon on mp3 which I downloaded on my computer and finally finished reading it, as I folloowed along with the reader, ha ha. Maybe I’m just lame, but it helped me finally read it so i could answer my questions.

%{color:pink}Before school starts I need to finish The Jungle, The Killer Angels, and The Scarlet letter, along with a bunch of short stories…
So, far I’ve read the Jungle.
A million and 3 to go. Woo.%

i’m having a hard time getting through this one…i dunno why. probably because it’s a history book, and i’m not much for history. but i’m getting a job soon so i need to read as many books as possible before that happens!
