It is summer, and summertime can only mean one thing: the dreaded SUMMER READING LIST.
Remember those? You would be given a list of super-boring books that you absolutely had to read over the carefree sunny days spread out before you, and everyone always did the exact same thing: everyone waited until two days before school was back in session for the Fall and rushed out to the store to buy the Cliffs Notes versions.
Smart kids would have purchased the Cliffs Notes earlier in the summer, while inventory levels were high. Pity the kids who rushed to the local bookstore only to find the dreaded SOLD OUT sign on the rack.
