I can't for the life of me remember what they made me read my freshman year.. I think there was a short story and a clip from the Elephant Man?

Anyway, I think a book assigned to incoming freshmen should be memorable, accessible, and engaging to be useful. I think excerpts from Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? by Michael Sandel could be great. Or maybe Go Tell It On the Mountain by James Baldwin. Above all, it must be a book worth discussing.
