Here's what Patti Cuttle, of the
English Department, writes about her five favorite books:

 |
My Sister's
Keeper by Jodi Picoult Jodi Picoult is an
extraordinarily gifted writer who tackles many moral and ethical
dilemmas that confront us in our society today. This novel
centers on the topic of organ donations between two sisters, in
which the donor is a minor and has no choice. Picoult is a
master at writing in multiple perspectives and shows how each choice
affects various family members. |

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
Tuesdays with
Morrie is inspirational. It reminds us of what our priorities
are -- and what they should be. Best of all, it's a true
story. |
|
 |
The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown For years, historians have
written that the life of Jesus Christ may not be what we have been
taught in the past. Brown explores the Holy Grail as well as
Jesus' relationship with Mary Magdalene. Brown incorporates
controversial ideas into an engaging mystery which makes us question
the truth. Isn't that always good food for thought?

The Little Prince by Antoine de Sainte-Exupery
This book is important because it can cross generations, and,
most importantly, because what is most important is most often
invisible to the eye.

 |
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll Our lives
should always have some wonder, fantasy, and silliness.
