Interesting article about some of the books colleges are choosing for their summer reading programs....which have you read, and what do you think they should be requiring?

Riveted_Reader_Melissa If you click on the link that says annual survey... there's a longer detailed list of books and schools. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Definitely agree with Evicted, but I found The New Crow more revealing than say Between the World and Me and Citizen Lyric. Both of those are excellent, but were more meaningful to me after reading The New Jim Crow for example. 7y
New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hillbilly Elegy and Just Mercy have been on my list to read for awhile, I really need to read them ASAP. (Hopefully this year yet....maybe....) 7y

Hooked_on_books I think it's terrific that schools are doing this. Many of these book choices are outstanding. I'm delighted to see Just Mercy as a top pick--it's a wonderful book with an important message. 7y
minkyb Great article. I always enjoyed the common reads throughout the times my kids were in school and college. 7y
