2023-2024 Campus Reading Program Book Selection
"Darius the Great Is Not Okay" is SJSU's Campus Reading book for the fall 2023 incoming class of first-year students. "Darius the Great Is Not Okay" is in essence a coming-of-age story with family at the center. Throughout the narrative, readers will encounter Persian customs, traditions, and foods, many of them for the first time, just as Darius does.
