In a recent HTC poll of 110 Boston University students, over 100 responded that they are experiencing “Zoom-fatigue.” With so much of our lives shifting online (and to Zoom specifically) while we continue working and learning remotely, it’s more important now than ever to take breaks from all this screen time. We recommend starting with this wonderful list of our students’ favorite books, which they shared during last week’s Tell Us Tuesday:

A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Betty Smith
The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison
