Spring 2006 Vairo Selection
Karen Craig (English major) states: "The task of choosing one personally influential book presented quite a challenge. As a writer myself, I have been influenced by the writings of many famous and popular writers including, but not limited to, Ernest Hemingway, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost and Mary Shelley. Ultimately, I chose the Pulitzer-Prize winning non-fiction novel written by Margaret Mitchell in 1936, Gone with the Wind. This book deals with struggle, loss, disappointment, victory, racism, heartbreak and true love. This book not only warms the heart, but also inspires readers allowing them to believe, like Scarlett, that tomorrow is another day."
Shana Goldson (Business major) selected God's Leading Lady, Out of the Shadows and Into the Light, by T.D. Jakes. Here is a quote from Shana as to why she chose this book: "This piece of inspirational literature was built on the foundation of one of the most historic pieces of text, The Holy Bible. It has taken the challenging scripture of the Bible and has deciphered it into a comprehendible text that delivers inspiration to all its readers. It has inspired and allowed me to come to terms with the one thing that has sometimes stifled other things in my life, my need for continuous and undisturbed perfection."
