Established in 2007 by the Leatherby Libraries, the Community of Readers is the summer reading program for Chapman University. This program is open to everyone who has borrowing privileges at the Leatherby Libraries and a current library account, including students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Members select books from the Leatherby Libraries and receive prizes upon submission of their first review. The only requirement is that books must be obtained through the Leatherby Libraries.

Book ReviewI really hoped to like this book more. It was on some "Read before you die" lists, so I checked it out. This story, framed as a letter a man is writing for his son; was beautifully crafted. the sentences were gorgeous. The concepts were universal. But for me, it read just like watching paint dry.
