    Well for a few of us summer is a time of bliss where we can forget school and just relax, until we reach the end and remember we put off our summer reading =/. anyways this topic is just a place for anyone to chat about any summer reading projects or just books you chose to read casually and just want to chat. I myself picked up The Lords Of Discipline by Pat Conroy for my reading project and so far i have only gotten past the prologue =P, the story is about 4 boys who attend a military academy and it looks like it will be an enjoyable read when i get to it. I also picked up Charles Dickens "A Tale of Two Cities" this book may take me some time to get to but it will be a good way to kill my 1 free period when school starts up.
