<p>I've heard rumors... Is there summer reading for us Sternies? And why didn't I receive something notifying me of it? >_<</p>
<p>-_-a
im 99.8752% sure there is no summer reading.</p>
<p>Unless policies changed this year, there definitely is summer reading for stern. But don't worry, there isn't a class on it or anything. I'm not sure what it is this year, but last year, our summer reading was the same as Steinhart kids.</p>
<p>At orientation they mentioned a summer reading book which was optional, I forget what book it was though.</p>
<p>yeah there was a summer reading last year, and the year before that, from what I know.</p>
<p>Ours was Bel Canto.</p>
<p>To be honest, most people don't read the book anyways.</p>
<p>my bad. apologies for that.
ive never heard about summer reading. not during the orientation, not from upperclassmen, never.
but it looks like that the book exists!</p>
<p>I know that Steinhardt has summer reading, but it's really easy. One book and all you have to do is read it (no "extra" work).</p>
<p>I haven't heard of this for Stern. For Steinhardt it is appearently required, but associated with a class all new students in the program take.</p>
<p>wouldn't it be cool if they made us read donald trump's "how to get rich quick"</p>
<p>I don't see how it'd be cool...</p>
<p>But they probably will give you summer reading. Hopefully they're sending you the book - our year, we read Don Quixote and Paper Son. They mailed us Paper Son. Don't worry, it'll get to you sooner or later.</p>
<p>cause all sternies want to get rich or die trying</p>
<p>i'm almost positive that it's an optional summer reading called 'The Namesake' by Jhumpa Lahiri. They have some groups that get together during the year to discuss the book.</p>
<p>The stern "optional" reading is The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. i checked with upperclassmen sternies already. buh it IS optional and you'll receive a notice in the mail soon about it</p>
<p>hmmm optional... does that mean that we are not gonna have some book discussion sessions like other schools?</p>
<p>Aww man. I saw a very small snippet of it on one of the NYU stuff that I get every so often (the flip out page newsletter I guess). I thought we're reading Bel Canto by Ann Patchett this year. Oh well, I bought it like 6 months ago so I might as well read it - I don't think I can return it.</p>
<p>bel canto was our year (09); not a bad book overall</p>
