<p>Im a prefrosh wondering about the summer reading</p>
<p>1) What is the name of the book again? :) I know it has something to do with Gettysburg Address...</p>
<p>2) Should I actually buy and read the book? My friends tell me that it we dont even get quizzed on the reading or something.</p>
<p>Lincoln at Gettysburg. I haven't read it. But will sometime this summer. It's supposed to be an excellent, accessible book mediating on American history. It won the Pulitzer Prize, so think in the McCullough vein...</p>
<p>Cornell</a> University - New Student Reading Project</p>
<p>Cornell will send you the book. So there's no reason to buy it. And, yes, you should read it.</p>
<p>just be grateful that you DONT have to read the pickup, or as we put it, the let-down</p>
<p>OH! If you're going to be on-campus during the summer, for most of the summer, do you just pick it up from the bookstore?</p>
<p>Um... if you're going to be doing COSEP or some other program on campus during the summer, I think they may give you the book then.</p>
<p>Yea, if you're on campus for PSP then you'll get the book in residence hall. If not, then I do not really know what the process is.</p>
<p>I read the Pickup for my senior year AP Lit class. Apparently, Cornell contacted my high school and asked them to try the book out too. It sucked, lol.</p>
