Submit Your Ideas For Penn Reading Project
February 28, 2014 at 9:12 am
Penn Reading Project is getting a li'l facelift for 2015. For the first time, students can submit book and theme ideas for consideration. It's easy: choose a book, then choose some abstract idea from said book as the theme. With previous heavy hitters such as Doubt, Book of Rhymes, and Frankenstein, the bar is set pretty high. Song's over, Year of Sound. New year, new theme. We've come up with a few pairings of our own to get started.
Year of Felinity Pride and Prejudice and Kitties: A Cat-Lover's Romp through Jane Austen's Classic by Pamela Jane PP&K includes photos of kittens interwoven with classic Jane Austen. That's something we'd enjoy writing our first college essay about.
Year of Trance Life of Pi by Yann Martel This submission is co-sponsored by whoever came up with the Fling theme this year. We'll look forward to those emails (and events) later in the year.
Year of Socially Acceptable Online Dating Meet Women on Tinder: The Guide to Dating Women on Tinder by Johnny Suave We think 2015 is a big year for online dating. OKCupid, Tinder, whatever. This book's so great they had to say the title twice.
Year of Selfishness Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand The world is on your shoulders, new Wharton babies. Take the money and run. Who is Amy Gutmann?
Year of Gluten Grain Brain by David Perlmutter A solid choice given the current pandemic nature of Celiac's Disease. Finish your last bagel before you start the book.
