Common Reading selection 'Stealing Buddha’s Dinner' available in campus libraries

Multiple copies of the 2009-2010 Common Reading Program book selection "Stealing Buddha's Dinner" by Bich Minh Nguyen, associate professor of English, are now available in the Purdue Libraries.

The largest number of available copies is in Hicks Undergraduate Library and can be checked out for one week. All libraries have at least one copy of the book, but borrowing options vary.

Faculty and staff are encouraged to read the book this summer to participate in the year’s programming and academic tie-ins. Incoming freshmen and transfer students will be receiving free copies of the book selection during the Summer Transition, Advising, and Registration (STAR) program beginning June 16.
