10.1 - Summer Reading List
Every year, UC Berkeley faculty, staff, and students recommend some great books for the incoming classes (and everyone else) to read. Read a book from the 2023 or 2024 Berkeley Summer Reading lists

Bartleby, The Scrivener. A Story of Wall-Street by Herman Melville is listed but this does not meet the SRC requirements

(The movie Crip Camp is also listed, but that's not a book!)

That is correct - the books must also meet the SRC requirements

It was working but not any more- i picked a book

I have found a google doc which lists every book ever on the list alphabetically with the year after it - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M...#.. I have been able to check my book with this but it will be clunkier to browse for options
