November 9 – CSW Reads Spotlight with Chloe-Maya Funk '23
EXPLORE
The CSW Library occasionally asks members of our community (faculty, staff, and students) what they are reading, love to read, and a bit about their reading life in an effort to share recommendations and to engage with our wide community of readers. Each feature includes a Q & A with the community member and a series of recommended titles.
For Chloe-Maya Funk ‘23, one of the co-heads of CSW’s reading recommendations group Read This!, reading is a part of every day. Surrounded by books her whole life, C.M. champions reading outside of the required academic texts and discusses how her reading life has changed during the pandemic. Check out the books she’s been reading lately, as well as some recommendations that may ignite your love for the stories in between the pages of a good book.
