Why Chosen
This has been my favorite book since reading it in English in high school. In studying engineering, we tend to get hyper focused on only the world of science and math - but we also need to look at the world around us and see the beauty in art, music, literature, and movement. In selecting this dark and witty tale, I encourage all of us to be willing to branch out and learn a little more about areas outside of our field of expertise.
