This is Jenny. of course I think to come to your blog after school is out, what else would I do? But I’m chugging along on my reading list–The Road, Never Let Me Go, and I’m in the middle of Kavalier and Clay. Loving all of them. You’d be proud.
If you like Chabon’s style, you might look into Wonder Boys. There was a solid movie based on it, but of course there is no comparison of greatness between a movie and a book. It’s an inspired story of a struggling writer, and there is enough of college-ness in it to make for good pre-matriculation reading.
