The Restored Finnegan’s Wake. “In these pages I first discovered literature for myself,” said English professor David Paddy, who chose the work by James Joyce. “I did not understand it and knew I had much to learn, but I got the first impulse that creative reading demanded reach and ambition. “It seemed like a higher form of fun,” he added. Laurel Crump, Director of Wardman Library, came up with the idea of a collection to honor these faculty members and enable them to leave a lasting mark at the College in the form of a favorite book. Librarian Mike Garabedian ’98 was in charge of obtaining the 23 new books and became quite knowledgeable about each tome. “Some were out-of-print, and finding copies of those in good enough shape for the library was more difficult than calling our vendors or jumping on Amazon.com,” he said. “I was struck most by those selections that weren’t related to the professor’s primary research interests.” As an example, he notes that math professors Adam Riskin and Mark Kozek both chose works of literature. “It’s one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read,” said Riskin of his selection, The Summer Book by Tove Jansson. “Maybe if it’s in the library here someone will find it at just the right time for them.”
