<p>Adding Reed - “The Odyssey” by Homer, which is part of the classics core that forms the school’s required Humanities course for all freshmen. They’re inviting parents to read it, too, and participate in a discussion led by the Humanities faculty during parent orientation. </p>
<p>This makes for a great reading list. Thanks!</p>

<p>Ohio State University- Freshman reading “No Impact Man” by Colin Beavan.</p>
<p>It is about the adventures of a guilty liberal who attempts to save the planet.</p>
<p>My son and I have both started reading it. It’s interesting.</p>
<p>Here is the description of what the University of Texas at Austin does. It’s a voluntary program.</p>
<p>“The Freshman Reading Round-Up offers incoming freshmen the opportunity to read a book recommended by a distinguished faculty member and participate in a discussion about the book with the faculty member and other incoming freshmen. Incoming freshman can sign up for a book by visiting the Freshman Reading Roundup Book List page. Click on the call number to check availability. Reading Roundup Book List Printable Version.”</p>
<p>I counted, and there are 52 books listed. Some of them are “Emma,” “Don Quixote,” Oedipus Rex" (group led by UT’s president, Bill Powers), “Leaves of Grass,” “A Yellow Raft in Blue Water,” “Perfect Pitch: The Art of Selling Ideas and Winning New Business,” “The Tipping Point,” and “Life’s Greatest Lessons.” The professors who lead the groups are all in UT’s Academy of Teaching Excellence (or something like that!). My dad is leading one of the groups, and my son decided to participate in his (we actually encouraged him to choose a different one, but he wanted to be in his grandfather’s).</p>

<p>At Northeastern University, everyone reads the summer book; students, staff and professors. Eggers will be giving a lecture the day before classes start. It sounds like a cool program to me.</p>
