Help me choose a book from this list for a summer ignment? I never heard of these books except for about 3?

The good news is that you have several good choices. I'd choose The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, and match it with the quote "The right good book is always a book of travel; it is about a life's journey". That fits the book perfectly. It's a quick read, and pretty easy to understand. Good luck, and happy reading!
