Read every day for at least 15 minutes. Most of these are books are notable and award winning from the past year. These books are NOT required. Do NOT feel obliged to read every book on the list. Pick and choose from the list based on your personal interests. And, please, read books that are not on the list, too. When you come back to school, tell us which books you loved reading this summer.
Read the book. Then watch the film or television adaptation and compare! You can even borrow DVD's and Blu-Ray Discs from the San Antonio Public Library.
