You know you have one. In honor of National Library Month we asked students
at Belk Library to name their all-time favorite book.
‘“Of Mice and Men’ (by John
Steinbeck) is my favorite because
there is a surprise twist at the end."
- Jason l.otz, freshman
“My favorite is ‘Tlie Awalcening' by
Kate Chopin. I can relate to what the
main character thinks and does, and it’s
really short," - Kate Bradley, freshman
“‘Of Mice and Men' is the first book
1 read that touched on brotherhood
and friendship. Steinbeck really took
it home." - Kevin Krout, senior
“I love ‘Where the Red Fern Grows
by Wilson Rawls. Every time I read
it, 1 cry." - Sarah Umberger, junior
