The reading of these works is not mandatory during the vacation and should not replace the student’s other preferences.

These works are available at LFO, but you are welcome to purchase them for personal use during the summer so that the student can build a small library and have the opportunity to work on them. The ISBNs are provided for this purpose.

The analytical readings are studied in-depth. The casual readings are personal readings, outside of the curriculum, and serve as reading checks that students are aware of, but most importantly, they serve as topics for class debates.

This list is subject to change depending on circumstances and the class level. Works may be added or removed. Some students may be offered additional readings if their level and motivation permit.
