Oh it is that time of year again.

I return. It seems that around March and April I get anxious for the summer and I start doing anything that can be summer related, even though I overwhelmed with homework and that sort of thing. But yes, once again, it is time to start thinking about summer reading. As always I am inspired by professors to read some books that are usually related to one of my classes. This time they are:

Maurice - E. M. Forster
I didn't like Passage to India when I read it in high school, but I just read Howards End and it was excellent. I also watched the movie for this book and it was fantastically gay so how could I not.

On Beauty - Zadie Smith
This book is an homage to Howards End, except it is set in the present and focuses more on race instead of class. I have started it and it seems good so far, but there is no time for it now.

The Awakening - Kate Chopin
Read a short story or two by her last semester so I bought this one and a few other short stories at The Book Table. Except I already own it. Oops.

Lady Chatterly's Lover - D. H. Lawrence
Here's hoping this one is less whiney than Sons and Lovers. I can't handle too much repetition, but there's nothing like turn of the century "smut."

Don't worry, this list will grow. I have all sorts of books I have to read for London, as I will be spending the fall semester there. Mostly books by the Brontes, as I am doing a giant project on them and I've only read Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.
