It was really pretty cool to be chatting with a reporter for the Times. I was also pleased that she mentioned one of our student's research. We have a scholarship to support a student researcher provided by our friends group, and Andrew Twiton was the recipient last year. He reviewed the literature on college common reading programs (there's not a lot out there) and surveyed people involved in these programs. By the way, the list I maintain is as complete as I can make it - but I know there are a lot of you out there who have common reading or summer reading programs that <a href="http://homepages.gac.edu/~fister/onebook.html" rel="nofollow">aren't included there</a>. If you don't see your institution on the list, I'd love to add it. Thanks for catching that, Steven. It was really pretty cool to be chatting with a reporter for the Times.

I noticed our students talking about our summer reading (Dead Man Walking) on Facebook. Many of them were surprised that they were enjoying the book and commented that it was better than what they had to read in high school. Good point Barbara.
