Ondrey Summer Reading Program 2007

As kids, my brothers, sister and I usually would participate in a local summer reading program, promoted by the public library or our school. You'd usually get some sort of reward at the end of the summer or upon the completion of the assigned books - sticker sets, coupons for free fries, tickets to local sporting events...the list goes on.

Well, I am done with school for this year and have the summer off, so there are a bunch of books that I have been wanting to read. At the end of the summer, having completed the self-assigned reading (listed below), I will rewarded with...well...I am not sure yet, but your suggestions will be seriously considered. Now you might think that my list is lame or undemanding, but I do not want to be overwhelmed with deadlines - I just want to be able to do some pleasure reading in the absence of tuition-based academic responsibilities.

If you have not found anything you are interested in reading this summer, feel free to join me in my bookish efforts. Keep in mind that I have little interest in fiction, but will be attempting to gain an appreciation through reading one selected classic. Should you choose to opt out of certain readings and replace them with others, please do so - all reading is good reading.
