Summer Reading Help (Grades 3-5 & 7-12)

pokepotterkhkids · 05/22/08, 07:42 PM

Does anyone have any ideas for me and my brother's summer reading? He's at 3-5th grade level and technally I'm at Above College Level, which would mean adult books, which would mean my mom wouldn't let me read them. So for me grades 7-12. I can read that much at least. And I need lots of ideas. I finished Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse (for the gazillionth time) last weekend, starting friday afternoon till sunday afternoon, and i had like 6-10 hours of reading total the entire weekend because we were so booked up. I read really fast. So I'm gonna need lots of book ideas if I'm gonna keep my self busy. If and when you make a suggestion can you PLEASE remember to say what grade level it's at. THX!

Technically, I don't buy that for a second, because I was able to pick out four grammatical errors in the above sentence (which consists of only six words).

THX!

EDIT: Don't feel like flooding another of her topics with my posts, but David, I also took into account that she is f*cking thirteen.

considering reading level has no relation to typing ability, you can' treally make that statement and be serious. I happen to be know the rules of grammar well but still I make mistakes when I type. people miss them all the time.

But anyways lets try to stay on topic here.

Well I would recommend the narnia series of books, both of you could read them.
If you haven't read, 1984, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, To Kill a Mocking bird, The Giver. I would recommend reading those as well

Books for you to read:
The Stranger by Albert Camus
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Watership Down by Richard Adams
The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

If you're feeling really confident about your reading ability, then try:
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy O'Toole
Ulysses by James Joyce
Don Quixote by Cervantes

Anything that's regarded as a classic is probably awesome.

believe it, the tests they do to determine reading level can be passed by any above average twit.
