English Department Summer Reading 2008 • Updated on 6.5.08
Reading is a life-long pleasure and an essential skill. Reading allows us to explore the inner worlds of the human soul and connects us to the outer worlds of the human condition. Thus, we encourage our students to read beyond the required texts in their English courses whenever possible. We also encourage parents to involve themselves in this process by reading with their children and discussing the books they read.
