Books Everyone Should Read


Books Everyone Should Read
Originally uploaded by Pesky Library
We asked the Faculty and Staff to share their thoughts on “Books Everyone Should Read…”. We were delighted with both the number and range of responses. The recommendations included everything from Children Make Terrible Pets to Freedom, Jonathan Franzen’s new novel, and everything in between. There are some classics, Dr. Zhivago, The Odyssey and Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim, along with, perhaps, some surprises, such as The Devil’s Teeth about Great White Sharks in all their primeval and gorey glory. Humor is clearly an important part of our lives with a nod to David Sedaris (Me Talk Pretty One Day) and Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett (Good Omens). There’s something for everyone in this collection of books everyone should read!
