Good Reads
Want to read a good mystery or romance, but don’t want to pay for something you’ll only read once? Need books to read to your kids? Want to get a head start on reading for Dr. Ruleman’s short story class? We have your solution! The links on the right have all sorts of interesting reads – classics and newer books – to keep you reading happily all semester.
Everything on these lists is available in the library, as an e-book, or is something we will have soon. This page lists new books and things that didn’t fit anywhere else. You can post your own recommendations and thoughts on books here, or on the other pages, and let everyone know what good stuff is out there. All work and no play makes you a stressed-out mess! So take some time to read a book that has nothing to do with your classes.
Don’t miss the list of Faculty Recommendations: things you need to know before you graduate, and some darn interesting stuff!

I just recently finished one of the best books I’ve had a chance to read in a while. For anyone looking for an amazing read, I suggest picking up The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. It’s got a little bit of everything. There’s romance, drama, suspense, sci-fi. It’s wonderful. And to make it even better it’s a fast read that you won’t want to put down! Take the time to get this one – it’ll be worth it.
May I ask you if you are part of the company BookWise? I stumbled upon your blog and see at the top it reads bookwise. I am part of bookwise, a company Richard Paul Evans and Robert Allen started. (New York Times Best Sellers).
I love your book review. Fun stuff.
We are not associated with the company. Our rather large page headers and, in fact, all of the blog show that we are a college library.
