Reading to relax

Time to take a sizable chunk out of The Best of Enemies: Race & Redemption in the New South by Osha Gray Davidson. Duke University has selected this book as summer reading for its freshman class. As an orientation adviser I'll to read it too.

I've heard that the summer book committee had selected this book without knowing that it was out of print. We've all received freshly printed books with custom covers for Duke Class of 2011. Looks like a good way to share at least one common intellectual experience besides complaining about freshman writing.
