(no subject)
we are doing this reading program for credits at school, and i am required to read a certain number of books of different assortments. i have only heard of many of these authors and i was wondering if you had read any of their works/have any recomendations of what i should read from this list. i'm not framiliar enough with classics, and because i refuse to read boring books, will otherwise be looking for excerpts from them.
(i'll probably post another list like this but for a different age in the future) <3.
