Back to the Books
A few months back Casey wrote about the best winter study locations on campus. This time of year I look forward to summer afternoons and weekend mornings spent reading at my local Caribou Coffee and other locals.
In the winter months most of my time is spent reading applications for freshman admission. The number of hours spent reading and considering applications doesn’t leave me much time (or energy) to devote to leisurely reading. While I do read the summer and fall transfer applications that we receive it isn’t the non-stop reading campaign that we experience during the winter.
So, I now begin to shift my mind to catching up on my personal reading list.
This summer I need to catch up on a good number of books that have been sitting on my desk at home. My roommate gave me Way of the Peaceful Warrior for my birthday (four months ago) which I am two chapters into, his mother recently handed me The World is Flat (sitting on desk under my baseball glove) and I purchased Jerry Remy’s Watching Baseball a while back and the spine on this is creaseless as well. This is just the beginning of a longer and diverse list.
I am off for a quick vacation in Florida over the upcoming holiday weekend. I trust that my flight down will provide for a few hours of dedicated reading. Maybe on the beach as well, but I assume that catching up with my two best friends from college is more likely how I will pass those hours. But I do have the flight home.
I welcome suggestions regarding: a) favorite spots in NEO to relax with a book, b) other ‘must reads’, c) books with local flavor, d) other useful info.
