<p>Marquette has sent out its title for new freshmen -- Run by Ann Patchett (I JUST read that, too!) Themes to be explored: politics, faith, race, and the various ways we define family.
Anyone else's children get their titles yet?</p>
<p>Ooooh, help me populate my summer reading list. Please add when you hear!</p>
<p>Reed College has for many summers mailed a copy of Homer's Iliad to incoming first-years. Mom and Dad are encouraged to read The Odyssey and they get a chance to discuss it at Convocation.</p>
<p>Ummmm, been there, done that.... Homer just didn't do it for me. But I did like getting the references in the George Clooney movie.</p>
