Summer Reading Books – As Chosen by the Fitchburg State English Department

Summer+Reading+Books+-+As+Chosen+by+the+Fitchburg+State+English+Department

by Jaliannette Marquez
If you’re looking for some summer reading inspiration, look no further! I asked the professors from the English Department to choose what they believe are “must reads” for college students. Summer may be your chance to take a break from school, but you can still continue your learning over the summer and have fun at the same time! Below you will see a list of books and the professor that recommended it. Maybe their favorite book becomes yours as well!
