Faculty Book Recommendations
We asked the W&L faculty, “If you were marooned on a desert island, what book would help you pass the time?” We explained that we wanted to share their responses with W&L alumni and parents, who, like most Americans, are sheltering in place during this time of the pandemic.
What followed was an outpouring of recommendations along with personal testimony as to the merits of each selections.
We are pleased to share these with you in the order in which they have been received.
