Beach Reads?

I just finished my AP English Language & Composition test and my brain is falling to pieces, so here goes: a mildly comprehensive list of the books I'll be reading this summer. Recently, I saw an article in which writers discussed the books that crushed their young souls, a prospect that amused me for two reasons-- first, in that I can sympathize, and second, in that it erroneously assumes writers have souls. While I doubt this is true in some or even most cases, the books that will be crushing my soul this summer are enumerated below, in no particular order. Remember Woolf? "Often... I begin counting up; what I've read and what I've haven't read."
