My Last Innocent Year: A Novel | Daisy Alpert Florin

pick

This is a debut novel about college life that is both incredible and prescient. Isabel goes off to school with no idea of the joys—and horrors—lurking on campus. This is one of those books that Florin describes as “crawling inside” and “taking up residence” in your soul. It‘s both heartbreaking and heartwarming!

I Am Charlotte Simmons: A Novel | Tom Wolfe

His daughter was in my class at Duke (never crossed paths), and apparently this was based on her time there. I haven‘t read it, but I don‘t think it‘s one of his more popular novels. It‘s been on my TBR forever just for the connection.

Megabooks @BarbaraBB what did you think? 10mo

BarbaraBB It was a long time ago and I liked though not as much as

Bonfire of the Vanities

BarbaraBB Very cool though that it‘s set at Duke‘s. I didn‘t notice at the time - or didn‘t pay attention to that fact! 10mo

tokorowilliamwallace I think I got through 2/3s of it while I had it checked out from the library (likely using up all the renewals I could), but I thought the character of Charlotte Simmons really worked well and sparkled. I think we need more female protagonists like her. 10mo

Megabooks @BarbaraBB @tokorowilliamwallace I think it‘s time I got around to it this year! 10mo

BarbaraBB @Megabooks I would if I were you. I remember it as a real campus novel; the Duke setting will probably be very recognizable to you. 10mo

Again, but Better | Christine Riccio

This is another random audiobook I borrowed from the library, but it was not a winner for me. I lost interest quickly after the narrator made a big deal out of being 20 and never having kissed or had sex before. That's always a killer for my interest in a story because I've never considered it all that necessary. The first hour failed to capture my interest after losing it so quickly. #collegelife
