For English I need to read a banned book. How the **** can I read it if it's banned?
And for History, they were like 'it'll only take about two days'. Two ****ing days? Not our ****ing fault you couldn't get through all your work because none of y'all can ****ing teach for **** and you made us do the remaining 'lessons' (if you can call this **** that) at home.
I haven't even ****ing started. I have like five weeks left but still.

That's actually pretty light work. Like I know you're in high school so you're not used to it, but I just went through an entire Calculus II course over the summer - two days of lessons and one book is way light.
Is there a particular book you have to read, or do you choose any that has been banned at some point? If it's the latter,
click here for a really good list. I highly recommend these:

But #45, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, is actually my favorite book of all time and I would strongly encourage you to explore it as an option.
