讓美國大學招生官告訴你暑假讀什么

你可以從學校、圖書館、網(wǎng)上和書店搜索一份暑期閱讀書單,但是今天你看到的這份書單是獨一無二的。這份年度暑假閱讀清單不僅給學生很多閱讀上的建議，還推薦了不少閱讀書籍給家長，甚至是每一個愛閱讀的人。這份閱讀書單是由一系列美國大學的校長和招生官傾情推薦，非常值得關(guān)注。

這份書單不僅包括小說和非小說，還涉及了許多歷史和科學類文獻。當然，關(guān)于如何進入大學和在大學學習和生活，甚至如何進入研究生院的書籍也包含在內(nèi)。你可以讀到一些廣受推薦的作家的作品，比如David Sedaris, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Angela Duckworth, Atul Gawande。除此之外，這份書單還會推薦一些新興作者的作品。

這份書單是由Brennan Barnard編輯的，他是新罕布什爾州德瑞菲爾德學校的大學咨詢負責人。他每年都會向各大大學招生官和中學咨詢官尋求暑期閱讀清單的建議，然后匯總起來。

Brennan Barnard說道：“一堆書堆在我的床邊，夏天沒有什么事能比閱讀這些書更重要了。夏天是最好的時間來深入研究這些書，從這些書里發(fā)現(xiàn)你的興趣所在。以下這些是書單中比較有代表性的?！?/p>
