Required reading at Georgetown University


Interesting news from the Man Booker camp. The Booker Prize Foundation has linked up with Georgetown University and its entire freshman class of about 1,600 students, no matter what they are studying, will be required to read a designated novel from the shortlist for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction. Forced reading – excellent. I’ve been waiting a long time for someone to put these sort of laws into place.

    Wow – I wish I could have traded in a couple of my more jargon-heavy textbooks for that kind of required reading.
