In the Princeton Alumni Weekly editorial by Angela Wu entitled "On Books: What Princeton Students are Reading (An Undergrad's Search for the Book of Her Generation)" (Jan. 18, 2012), why does Wu say that her generation has not established an iconic book that defines them? Do you think most informed Americans would agree that Ron Charles's statement about Wu's generation is accurate when he says "young adults choose their books like 13-year-old girls"? Provide examples from any of your reading, your conversations with other Americans or your experience to support your evaluation of the author's assertion.
