What to read this summer?

Recently the Charlotte Observer had a list of what books incoming freshman are being asked to read at some of North Carolina's colleges and universities. It's an interesting list of non-fiction and fiction titles. I wanted to share with you some of the titles. All on this list are available from the Stanly County Public Libraries.

  • A Home on the Field: How One Championship Team Inspires Hope for the Revival of Small Town America" by Paul Cuadros.
  • An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore
  • Blood Done Sign My Name by Timothy Tyson
  • The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions by Sister Helen Prejean
  • When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka
  • The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp

Check out one of these books and discover what incoming college students will be reading and discussing. If you've read one or more of these books and want to share your opinion, please leave a comment.
