Summer reading list

In my time that I've been on earth I have read probably about 20 or 30 books. Thus leaving my choices for a book very big. The first book I want to read is The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck because you have to in order to get into honors ten. So this must be a good book if there going to force us to read it. The second book i want to read is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas. I want to read this so i can say I've read a 1,000 page book and I thought the movie was ok and the book is always better than the movie so the book has got to be better than the movie. Thats my list.
