<p>I was wondering if anybody in the recent weeks got a letter (and a book) inviting them to participate in the One Book One Northwestern program? </p>
<p>I can't really discern the number of people that actually participate in it? </p>
<p>Does anybody have any information on this program?</p>
<p>every freshman gets the book. you won't be tested on it or anything, but it's nice to have something to discuss when you get to campus.</p>
<p>bored over the summer anyways, i'll jsut read it. haha</p>
<p>To be honest, the one book one northwestern program isn't all that popular. The books are good, though so you might as well read them if you have the time.</p>
<p>Theoretically, the entire freshman class along with all peer advisers and hall government members. Basically anyone invited to move onto campus during Wildcat Welcome/ New Student Week should have read the book... in theory.</p>
<p>Very few people actually read them, and even fewer will talk about them. Last year's book was awful and of no interest to most people. I felt a little cheated, considering the two prior years were Antigone and Othello. I've read the Darwin Book (it's sitting behind me), and I can say its actually very interesting, but as has been said, don't bother with it unless you have the time- there's no obligation.</p>
