The Common Book Project at Rhode Island College

The committee has selected an engaging book for Rhode Island College's first Common Summer Reading Program for incoming students. The book, A Long Way Gone, by Ishmael Beah, is a highly readable memoir of a child soldier from Sierra Leone. All freshmen and transfer students will be required to read this book over the summer before starting classes in the fall.
