THE COOL KID’S GUIDE TO READING: Summing me up
The Telegraph newsroom is tucked into a corner of the campus of Mercer University.
Above us are lofts where students dribble bowling balls when our deadline approaches. Down the road are classrooms where students learn how to park in my parking space.
While driving through the campus recently, I noticed some banners with what appears to be a new school motto on them: At Mercer, Everyone Majors in Changing the World.
Which means everyone better minor in filling out government assistance forms.
Just kidding. They’re idealists, praise be.
It made me think my reading guide should have a motto. Here are some contenders.
