Murray State University adopted the Freshman Reading Experience in 2002 inviting freshman to read the same book and be ready for discussion at Great Beginnings. The goal of the program is to find something that students can relate to and have in common when they arrive on campus.

This year’s featured selection is, It’s Kind of a Funny Story, by author Ned Vizzini. Inspired by the author’s own experience, It’s Kind of a Funny Story tells the story of Craig Gilner’s acceptance into a prestigious and competitive pre-professional school and his subsequent response to overwhelming pressure. When Craig becomes depressed and then suicidal, he checks himself into a psychiatric wing of a local hospital and in the process, rediscovers abilities and options he didn’t realize he had.
