Looking for reading recommendations to take along with you on your summer vacation?
The Colgate Scene asked Colgate professors what they’ve recently read for fun. The responses were as varied and interesting as the people who submitted them — from memoir, historical fiction, and classic 20th-century literature to economic analysis, science fiction, and a graphic novel.
So, whether you’re planning a week at the beach, a jaunt around the globe, or a “staycation” in your own backyard this summer, check out “Great Reads” in the latest edition of the Scene — you’re bound to find a book you’ll treasure.
In an online exclusive, you can also check out the “To Read Next” list that the late English Professor Jonathan Kistler had compiled for his English 251 class years ago — more than 300 titles of superb literature. How many of these books have you read? Check them off and add more titles to your “to-read list.” You can also comment on the “Great Reads” books and post your own reading recommendations.
