Summer Assignment

So school is about to start in about a month or so. Before getting out of school i was assigned a summer reading & writing assignment.
I was given the option of either reading:
"The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver, and "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky and write a ten page paper about how the theme, guilt and atonement, relates to these novels
or
"Wicked" by Gregory Maguire and "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand and a ten page paper about how the theme of political morality these books

It is a month before school starts and i am about done with "The poisonwood bible", and i still have to read the other book and write the paper.
Curse you procrastination!!

Do any other nerdfighters have a summer assignment?
If so hows it coming along?
and can you give any tips on how to complete ASAP
