Heh, ok, it's late, so I have no idea why this idea popped into my head. But I was just thinking back at my two graduation ceremonies, and I remember having a book with me both times. Mainly since they're so long and boring. For our high school graduation, I remember bringing along Lord Foul's Bane of all things, hehe. At least I think it was LFB. If it wasn't LFB, then it had to have been one of the other Covenant books. Because I remember starting that series during the end of high school, due to the encouragement from Alynna, heh. And I remember being at the VERY end of Lord Foul's Bane (or one of the other books in the first trilogy), I mean, literally, I was 20 pages away from finishing, when I had to leave for graduation. So I just took it with me, so I could finish it.
For my college graduation, I brought Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. Interesting book. I'm glad I brought it, too. Since that ceremony was boring as hell, and practically 4 hours long.
So, is there anyone else here who was lame like me and brought a book to their graduation? Heh.-jay
What book did you read during your graduation ceremony?

High school graduation (Howard High in scenic Columbia, MD) I had the July, 1986 issue of Guitar World magazine, which was wholly dedicated to my hero, Jimmy Page. I also had a rather elaborite setup to deliver a bag og rum and coke from my belly to my mouth.

Wish I'd thought to bring a book to the high school ceremony. That had to be one of the most miserable things I've semi-voluntarily put myself through. Fortunately I got to skip out on college graduation (I believe we were just crossing the Maine state line when the ceremony was going on), and have no plans to go to the next one, either. If my mom wasn't so dead set on watching me walk in high school, I would have skipped that, too.
All I had to read during my roommate's graduation was the program.
