I offered students an extra credit assignment this semester after many reports of college students arriving on campus having not really read an entire book. They could choose any book and meet with me for an hour to discuss it. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to read all of the books, but only five students took me up on it. So, I'm going for it.

This was one of the books chosen, an interesting premise and an affecting book, but not really anything that grabs me too much. It's interesting to dip into what students in my class are reading.
