Over the summer we were given The Bitter Sea to read, by Baruch. At first I hesitated to read this book, because I’ve never really enjoyed reading as much as I should have. However, once I started reading the book I began to get really into it. The way Charles N. Li wrote was really captivating. I almost felt like I was in his story. The emotions he wrote of were really real and raw.
At the panel, we got a closer and more intimate glimpse of the man behind the book. He was just as funny in person as he was portrayed in the book. The panel also featured a few other people who talked about their academic experiences, which was also quite interesting. I always like to hear about other people’s stories of the childhood and education. The panel was very informative and entertaining.
