Dear friends, please help me compile a summer reading list!

[dead man walkin]

Hello friends:

I am FORMERLY a freakin lazy H/S student who absolutely did nothing in high school, kept doing nothing in college, and finally just got a factory job after dropping out.

BUT.....now that I'm getting laid off after a year or so, I'm gonna actually go and finish my degree this Fall.

So, I'm gonna have this summer ALL FREE, which I would like to use to read up on all the stuff I was supposed to read in high school. (and maybe some college stuff if I get to it). So I don't feel like a complete ignoramus all the time lol.

So, could some of you please help me out here? Just a brief list of the things will do (things that are an absolute must for people who have been through high school, and a year or two of college)

Thanks.

It's nice that you've come to realize the lost time spent on not focusing on your studies. I don't take my acads seriously, too, being easily distracted by anime and books, but at least, I get to learn a lot from them. A degree is not important, but if you feel that there's still much to be learned from school, then go and finish a degree. (There are drop-outs out there who made it big somehow, like Bill Gates for example. I still think that what one learns outside the classroom is more important. After all, experience is the best teacher...)

Good luck in your pursuit of knowledge in your university!
