Good books make significant experiences.
Page by page, they take us into their worlds and deliver to us experiences that we might not otherwise live, thoughts that we might not otherwise realize, environments that we might not otherwise visit. Book Magic Reading is the vehicle that empowers the images of others' thoughts in our own. Students and prospective students should read the books listed in the far left column. Faculty members often reference these books in courses taught on campus. We encourage members of the university community to read these books and to watch for and attend events sponsored in support of this program.
