The current Book of the Semester is Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. It is a nonfiction book about a young man with many opportunities, who decides to hitchhike to a remote part of Alaska with a romantic desire to escape civilization. Instead he is found dead of starvation in an abandoned bus. The motivation behind his behavior, the people he meets along the way, his family and friends, all add up to an interesting and thought provoking portrait.
The Library has ordered one copy of the book which will be placed on reserve for Book of the Semester when it arrives. It is also available now at the campus bookstore.
The Library would like to invite all interested students, faculty and staff to join us for one of the following informal discussion groups:
- Wed, Sept 19 at 7pm
- Wed, Oct 24 at 7pm
- Wed, Nov 14 at 7pm
We will meet in the instruction room of the Neil Hellman Library. Be there or be square!
