News and views from the Cast your vote
The Illini Union is sponsoring one of those "One Community, One Book" type events. Here's the blurb:
"The Illini Union's One Book, One Campus program hopes to provide a shared experience for our community. Through reading the same book community members will have the opportunity to engage in dialogue and explore various themes. Through lectures, book discussion groups and many other activities we will learn about ourselves and others while experiencing a unique sense of community."
Cast your vote for one of the five "finalist" titles. Our library has two of them: Maus, by Art Spiegelman (PB SPI) and Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America, by Barbara Ehrenreich (305.569092 Eh84n). Other choices are A Walk in the Woods, by Bill Bryson, Caramelo, by Sandra Cisneros, and Drinking Coffee Elsewhere, by ZZ Packer. Personally, I think any book written by someone named ZZ is worth a look.
