64 Campus Novels from Rose City Reader

These are 64 novels about college campus life, focusing on professors and faculty.  Rose City Reader has read 24 of them (outlined in red, some with reviews attached).  If this sounds like something you are interested in, then, by all means, take a look.  RCR has gone through a lot of trouble compiling this list.  To show you how attached I am to this particular subject matter, I have read exactly (drum roll, please) 1 of these 64 books.  It was Crossing to Safety, by Wallace Stegner.  And if I recall correctly, I wasn't too crazy about it.
Good hunting.

    I have to leave quizzes to you for now. I can't seem to devote time for those. But I always enjoy yours, even if I don't participate.
