SBCC Recommends

Dear SBCC Community (Students, Faculty, Staff, Administration, and Board of Trustees),

I hope you will join me in celebrating “The Power of Human Language in the Age of Generative AI” by taking a little time to recommend one or more books or shorter texts that you especially love or admire, writing in your own voice.

While the original deadline to submit a brief recommendation (100 words or less) of a book or a shorter text, for adults or children (see the categories below) has passed, you may still submit one if you like by clicking the red button below. Please know, however, that your recommendation may not be posted to the website until the week after the lecture.

While the recommendations won’t be available to read until April 30th, you may find a list of the authors and titles as people submit them in the hope that the list might inspire you to add a second endorsement of a title you love or free you to write about another text if you see one of your favorites has already been recommended.

Thank you for sharing a text you love or admire with the SBCC community, inspiring others to read more and scroll less as we fight the algorithms that know exactly how to keep us glued to our phones!

English Professor and 2026 Faculty Lecturer
