I feel as if I've learned more this summer, than during my school year at a school where most people call a prestigious university

I have never had such a desire to learn, to know things about stuff till this summer. It could possibly be because I've suddenly returned for the summer to an environment that doesn't constantly demand learning. Maybe I'm so use to the studying and learning during school, that being away from school in a place that doesn't require a lot learning makes me feel as if I'm missing something. 
I'm interested in things. I read Catcher in the Rye and it sures hell was down right golly, and it ain't no phoney storybook either. My next book that I'm going to read is Kurt Vonnetgut's Breakfast of Champions. Both which are recommendations of Ivan <3  I remember attempting to read this earlier in the school year. I dont know what it is, it could've been my mindset at the time, but I had a hard time staying interested in the book. I totally forgot what it was about. The Perks of Being a Wallflower that i ordered just came in the mail today too! but i think i'm going to read breakfast of champions that ivan let me borrow first. I'm reading the frist 2 pages and dang. Something caught my attention. It wasn't what i read, but they way that i was reading caught my attention. i was surprised to notice that i was actually getting an interest in the book. i dont wanna say to soon but, i was lik dang, this book is pretty interesting! I think i will finish this book this summer. and also the perks of being a wallflower :)
