Need help picking books for my summer reading list?

It depends on what type of genre you like to read. I like sci-fi and mysteries, so I would choose Fahrenheit 451. I think it is a great statement about society and socialism. Ethan Frome is tough to read. Many people like Slaughterhouse Five, Kite Runner, and Water for Elephants. Ernest Hemingway is very straight forward writing, and usually about wartime. 1984 is appropriate for our current political status, as it tells of our possible future.
