American Boy by Larry Watson - Spring 2014 Campus Read

We did something unusual for the 2013-14 academic year. We chose two books for the Campus Read -- Mrs. Kennedy and Me by Clint Hill and American Boy by Larry Watson.

Why?

• Author Clint Hill is a North Dakota native and was a keynote speaker for the JFK Symposium in November 2013.
• Campus Read is celebrating 10 years. Our first Campus Read book was Montana 1948 by North Dakota native and BSC alum Larry Watson; it is a good time to read another one of his books.
• We like to read.
• So many books, so little time.

With the start of the Spring 2014 semester, we invite you to read American Boy, talk about it with your fellow students and BSC colleagues, and come to Larry Watson's reading and book signing at the Bavendick State Room, NECE, the evening of March 11. 

Start reading & mark your calendar! 

The book is widely available from booksellers and libraries.
