Moo - Jane Smiley

http://www.powells.com/biblio/17-9780804117685-0 : This one has been sitting on my shelf for years, and I finally got around to it - I thought it was excellent - very fun and full of interesting characters. The book is set on the imaginary college campus of Moo - filled with self-centered philandering professors, nervous freshmen, and academic politics. At times it seemed like Smiley was trying to do too much, but overall this was really well written. I recommend it (along with her Pulitzer Prize winning novel A Thousand Acres)
