How many books did you read this summer?

I read 10 books, which totaled about 3000 pages. My favorite was
Gravity's Rainbow, which was also the longest at 780 pages. It was
written by the mysterious Thomas Pynchon, who remains
anonymous. It is about a soldier during WWII. Each time he gets
an erection, a bomb lands nearby, which obviously is problematic.
It was epic and comes highly recommended.

How many books did you read? Which was your favorite?

Trying to go to school without having read for 3 months is like trying
to run xc after 3 months off from running.

Yea cuz that makes sense. I read maybe 4 books throughout high school. Yet I exceled at english and finished with a 3.7.

I'm pretty sure the last time I read was maybe 15 months ago. I must be real dumb now.

Some people slack in the summer and still run fast times in xc....but how much better could they be at xc
if they put in the miles over the summer?

wtf stop trying to use running as an analogy for school. You're not making any sense.

I haven't personally read either of them, but I hear Catch 22 is great.
