哈佛大学历史上在任时间最长的校长查尔斯·威廉·埃利奥特，在一次演讲中提出：“若每天用15分钟来阅读经典，四年毕业后所读的书就可以摆满一个五英尺长的书架。”
董宇辉老师也曾在《青春大课》演讲中提到读书的意义：“我们为什么读书？其实先贤给出了非常准确的答案，对爱情的渴望，对知识的追求，对人类苦难难以遏制的同情心。运气永远会垂青那些时刻准备好的人，知识就是你的武器，书籍永远都是你的朋友，在顺境中多做事，在逆境中多读书。”
近期，小编整理了“哈佛大学、普林斯顿大学、斯坦福大学、芝加哥大学的2023年暑期阅读书单”，这些书单往往都紧跟社会时事，不同学校列出的书单也迥然不同，体现出不同大学独特的校园特色，大家可以根据自己的兴趣爱好进行选读。
