Chronicle online |
However, I came across The Chronicle of Higher Education's list, http://chronicle.com/article/What-Theyre-Reading-on/63471/, and it seemed to be the best. And when I say best, I mean that their list, in my mind, best represents several genres that college students are interested in.
These ten books are best-sellers on college campuses this fall. I have not personally read them, but I have read synopses of some. I'm not too interested in these genres at the moment ( I go back and forth between genres like the pendulum of a clock). Since I was so disappointed with my search, I've decided to consult a librarian at Point Park and ask her for a list of 100 books. I hoping she'll be able to give me some resources or tell me how popular the list is with students. From there I am going to make my future choices. Although I was a bit disappointed these hopefully may appeal to you. What do you think of this list ? Do you think this is what college students are interested in ?
