Summer reading was always (OK, well, sometimes) a fun experience for me while in school. I didn't like feeling forced to read specific books, but I did enjoy getting some choice on the matter.

So now that the summer is here, we want to suggest some of our favorite animal rights books. Check it out!

Anyone who emails StreetTeam@peta2.com with a quick (at least 200 words, though) "book report" letting us know which book(s) you read and some details on what you learned and/or found particularly interesting about each will get 1,000 Street Team points!

Animal Liberation by Peter Singer
Committed: A Rabble-Rouser's Memoir by Dan Mathews
Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy by Matthew Scully
Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal by Eric Schlosser
Free The Animals by Ingrid Newkirk
