Summer Reading

If you loved the movie:

Breakfast at Tiffany's, Truman Capote

Holly Golightly lives life like one long summer break: she's carefree, passionate, and reckless. Reading about her adventures paints a different air of intrigue than does the movie--Capote's novella is a light but thought provoking read. -Nicole Malick

If you’re trying to study abroad soon and relive your childhood:

Harry Potter y la Piedra Filosofal (read: Harry Potter in Spanish)

Three words-- quien tú sabes. -Abby Graham

 

 

To totally kick butt next school year:

Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead, Sheryl Sandberg

The book that everyone is talking about is a must read for the boys and girls of Penn. Learn about the challenges women face in their careers and how we all have a role in changing society and closing huge gaps in leadership positions. -Abigail Koffler

For a book set on Penn’s campus: The Execution of Noa P. Singleton, Elizabeth Silver This well reviewed murder mystery includes scenes from the inside of Van Pelt, HUP references galore, and a plot that keeps the reader guessing. The author went to Penn (and wrote for Street!) -Abigail Koffler
