Yes! Can we please start an alumnae reading list? If all goes well, winter break is my time to catch up on so much reading…

Special Topics is excellent! You must let me know what you think of it after you finish. It has been compared to “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt in terms of plot and thematic concepts, so I’m hoping to read that as well. (Random: in sophomore year our assignment was to write an intensive compare/contrast paper on Special Topics and any other piece of literature/movie/poem/etc. I compared it to The Perks of Being a Wallflower and it is still one of my favorite high school assignments to date!)

You know what is so exciting about Barnard? Freshmen summer reading!
