Don't get too stressed out about reading prior to 1L. You'll have enough opportunity for that once school starts. Try to enjoy your pre-law school summer. Try to spend more time with friends and family - things will get busy at the beginning of 1L as you adjust to all the newness (and then after a bit things will hopefully become less hectic as you develop your own rhythm and process for studying).
I was given this as a gift last weekend. It seems like a fairly entertaining read so far if a little complainy, but I have only read twenty or thirty pages.
Also a typing course to increase your speed would be useful on those issue spotting exams

Getting to maybe
1L of a ride
Planet Law school

I'm using typing club online for this. It feels basically like a typing course. I also made a keyboard cover from cardboard.
Getting to Maybe seems good, but hard to implement and really learn without knowing any substantive law.
The LEEWS book felt a little easier to understand since it gave more thorough examples. You can probably get either used.
I have not read 1L of a ride or Planet Law School yet but I too have heard good things.

It's not about law school, but I enjoyed reading "24 Hours with 24 Lawyers"
