Freshman Year English
if you want to find a great novel I don’t think you can go to a bookstore anymore. I think you need serious recommendations. My younger brother Wilson is in his freshman year of college, the territory of professors either directing you back towards the books you heard about in high school or directing your forward into the books culture is actually talking about. Fortunately his English professor is the former latter (will those ever make sense??).
When I saw the list, and recognized five books I’d read and loved, I knew I’d have to read them all. Meet my list for 2013, fresh from a text message from Wilson:

This makes me want to go back to English class. I miss that. The reading and discussing of college English classes.
Room. I’ve heard a lot about it but I fear it’ll make me super depressed.

I feel the same way! Room was actually the only one I looked at and thought, I’m not reading that one, no thank you. I take depressing books to heart way too deeply to read that type of stuff.
