A review by analyticali
Harvard Yard by William Martin

3.0

I still can't quite believe that I read this book. It felt a little bit like indulging in guilty pleasure reading after grad school. To compensate for this (and when I wanted to toss it for excessively using the phrase "a man will be known by his books"), I tried to piece together each scene where streets were mentioned on the map of Boston that I'm slowly trying to embed in my head. Also, the greatest discovery that I learned from this book is that in the crosswalk between the Holyoke Center and Harvard Yard there are bronze markers that indicate where the corners of the original building that housed the college once stood.
