I got out of summer reading this year due to a schedueling conflict.

Pre-freshman summer reading books were Peter Pan and Huckleberry Finn. Huck was pretty good, actually. Not very depressing at all. Peter Pan just sucked and was a dumb assignment.

Then pre-sophomore reading was Uncle Tom's Cabin and The Classic Slave Narratives. Uncle Tom was pretty depressing at some points, but the writing style was so melodramatic that it killed any meaningful parts. The Classic Slave Narratives were sad, but still boring as hell.

I envy you guys that have interesting books. I would kill to have 1984 on a summer reading list.
