| Welcome
to the University of California at Berkeley. The annual Summer Reading
List was designed to introduce new Cal students to the intellectual life
of the university.
These are not some sort of "official reading lists" nor are the books necessarily required for courses you will be taking. Rather, these are the personal choices of Berkeley faculty and staff members recommended for you. Most books are available at the University Library, local libraries, and bookstores. We hope you will find the time to read some of them. The 2012 theme is "Revolutions" Previous
