Summer Reading Madness (A Bitterness Top Ten)

UUGGGHHHH the summer reading list is haunting me. School starts in two weeks, and while I am like 75% of the way through the stupid thing (including all of the plays and most of the poems), I STILL haven't conquered David Copperfield, which is longer than everything else combined. Since all I've been doing is laying out by the pool and reading, the only list I can make will be Boring Reading List Related.

This is where I try to encapsulate all of the summer reading into one-liners, mostly for my own amusement.

1. Oedipus the King: Eeww, she's his mom.

2. The Odyssey: Yeah, war is long. Very long.

3. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: 20,000 Leagues of BORING

4. Farenheit 451: Fake blood? Gross.

5. Gone With the Wind: Gone with my summer.

6. The Jungle: No. More. Meat. EVER!

7. Tuesdays With Morrie: I think I know how this is going to end.

8. Lord of the Flies: Piggie has ASS-MAR. That's why he's mad, people.

9. The Bell Jar. Sylvia, cheer up!

10. Poetry of William Carlos Williams: So much of my summer depends on a little red wheelbarrow.
