First Year Reading Experience was something I initially dreaded. I had been so used to having to read books or other literature over the summer during high school and I dreaded spending that time on something school related during a break. However, I decided it was in my best interest to get used to reading literature for no immediate result. I always enjoyed reading however the hardest thing for me is getting hooked into it so that I'll continue to read the book. However, I decided to suck it up and take the time to read the book and I'm glad that I did.
I actually read The Postmortal all in one sitting, I had a 10 hour drive down to Key West so I decided there isn't a better time to read. I actually thought that book was very well written and definitely gave a highly possible vision of a future where aging no longer occurs. I enjoyed the technology that was talked about in this book and how the author didn't just say, all the sudden we found the cure but that he actually provided background. The part I liked least was I guess what actually happened to the world as a result, initially everything seems howdy doody but shit hit the fan quick and it was kind of sad to think that's probably what would happen.
I think FYRE is a great experience for most college students, because students will have to do a lot of reading over the next 4 years for results they may not see initially but will help in the end, even if it is something as simple as recognition from a professor for actually doing the optional assignment. I recommend the university continue the tradition
