Reading Suggestions - Spanish Literature

For those of you wanting to do some reading before we go, here are some books that you can purchase. I found them on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

Edited stories by level:
For stories edited for intermediated readers, try the Santillana "Leer en Espanol Series" There are 6 levels, going from very easy to advanced. In our Spanish 203 class we are reading a level 3 version of Don Juan Tenorio. Just enter a search on Amazon.com for "leer en espanol" and you will get a list of all the Santillana edited books.
If you are going into SPA 203, 210, or higher, you should be able to easily read the level 3 books.
