<p>I got Hometown, by Tracy Kidder for my birthday, and I read it, and now I'm slightly jealous of you Smithies! It's a nonfiction book about Northampton, and a lot of it's about Smith. For anyone looking at Smith, I would recommend reading it.</p>
<p>Thanks for the rec.</p>
<p>I have to admit, like Northampton is really a plus for Smith. I like going there enough that I may still go there when D is out of college. At least go there as part of a NYC or Boston trip. I suspect that D will be returning there upon occasion for decades.</p>
