Oh goodness where do I begin. What are you into? Adventure? then you have to read Moby Dick by Melville, it is often considered the greatest piece of fiction every written in America. Or how about something more dramatic like Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. This is picturesque Hemingway and America around the turn of the century. How about romance? Anything by Edith Wharton is great, or Bronte's Jane Eyre is also great. Comedy? Kurt Voonnegut's Breakfast of Champions is considered a turning point in english literature as the dawn of post-modernism. Or how about somethin contemporary? Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay recently won the Pullitzer, and is a fantastic novel of college reading level. If you are into shorter fiction how about The Stranger by Albert Camus, this is a french novel about existentialism, it is a little slow at first but is very profound. I could go on and on and on.

the position is the school? when you're west of Ohio, the finest guess is to call it for the state & basically upload the be conscious state in to modify it. for this reason, particularly of utilizing the college of Nebraska, a authentic college, use Nebraska State college. If there is already a Nebraska State, then change it to the different. you could also make it the college of Nebraska at (fictitious city call). Now no matter if it really is Ohio and East, attempt for both a large Puritan call (you could certainly lookup the record of Mayflower passengers), Any English city (many New England cities are basically named for an English one), or bypass with something greek. you'll stumble on a trustworthy type of Ohio faculties named for greeks or with a greek connection like Adelphia or Delphi for instance. in the former south, %. any british royal or southern president, maximum have faculties named for them. mix it up particularly of William and Mary call the school William and Anne, maximum human beings received't even understand you're giving the guy a diverse spouse. one extra thanks to decision the names, at a Technical to it, or when you're out west, upload Agriculture and Mining to it. Texas A & M is a authentic existence get at the same time. i'd take some nicely customary college like Ohio's Oberlin and upload Tech to it. Oberlin Tech feels like an engineering college, Oberlin State college would paintings besides, because the authentic one is the college of Oberlin. blending up a authentic college's call would paintings large because it would look established to the reader, yet not exist.

A good book is How I Paid For College by Marc Acito. It'll make you laugh the whole time and you might be able to relate to it. I recommend this if you feel like you need a mental break from all the pre-college worry.

Any Kurt Vonnegut books are good, and The Brothers Karmazov by Dostoyevsky, if you're going to be taking Russian Lit anytime soon.

Lots of books on the offer - and tough to choose which ones to read. Maybe books by Jane Austen, Jules Verne, Alexandre Dumas, the Bronte sisters and so on?

There is a huge collection of free classic books (all great books) at:
