Here is 2 good books i read recently that i thought people might enjoy:
Freshman by Michael Gerber: Hart Fox might not have the pedigree to be a shoo-in at Stutts, a prestigious Ivy League school, but he has the grades and the resume. And he does make it in-sort of. His acceptance is hijacked by Burligton Darling III, a wealthy alum, who is so desperate to get his hapless son, Trip, into Stutts that he funds a new boathouse. Darling also offers to get Hart a spot in the freshman class, and pay his way, if Hart will take all Trip's classes for him.
Despite this deal with the devil, in September, Hart walks ont the Stutts campus jubilant. But what awaits him is a strange parallel univers of secret societies, class hierachies, and inexplicable traditions. On any given day at Stutts, the math department might discover that the number 9 doesn't really exist; an English professor might prove that Shakespeare's plays had been penned by a potbellied pig; or worried grad students might be chasing an escaped black hole.
hart dreams of building his resume at the college newspaper. But instead, he finds himself aligned with the outcasts of an all-but-defunct school humor magazine. Along the way he learns about the joys of decimating beer-can pyramids, the horrors of being "rusticated," and even falls in love-with a preppy vampire.
Groundbreaking, hilarious, and surprising, Freshman marks the teen fiction debut of a gifted writer.
this is a funny book. btw, the above was from the cover flap. this is a great book, especially for my classmates who don't read too often for fun.
