The last few days I have been reading, My Freshman Year, What a Professor Learned by Becoming a Student by Rebekah Nathan. I have just a chapter and a few pages remaining. Up to this point it has been an interesting read. Recently published in late 2005 the book has had mixed reviews, but from what I can see it has been relatively well received.
Considering my current living situation and calling as a Campus Minister this book has been pretty intriguing and at time humerous to read, thought I must admit she doesn't tell me anything that I have already observed from my role as a live in Campus Minister/Mentor for college freshman. Rebekah Nathan writes this book under a pseudonym. She is professionally and academically trained as an Anthropologist. She uses her sabbatical from teaching to go back to school and live amongst 18 year olds. I feel like I could have written the book myself. When I've completed the book I'll offer a review of her books.
