"A book is a dream you hold in your hands." —Neil Gaiman
"A book is the mirror of the soul." -- Virginia Woolf
"The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story." —Ursula K. Le Guin
This page is about who is reading what. The English department will be posting self-made videos and interviews with faculty, staff, students, and community members about what they are reading.
Books allow us to enter new and different worlds so easily. Some books, like fantasy and sci-fi, can take us to very different worlds where a new reality and a new world is built that we can enter. Other books take us into the real world of areas like sports, politics, cultural problems, and still other books will take us into the minds of unusual characters, whose personal journeys create a literary statement. There's so much to read and there's something for everyone.
