What we’re about

Like reading but pressed for time? Join our "Great Novels Under 200 Pages" reading group!

In our club, different members choose books they are most passionate about and share their enthusiasm by leading discussions on those books. Because of this, we have been reading a variety of books, including the great Chinese novel To Live, The Vegetarian, which tells the story of a Vietnamese woman who desires to be a tree, and Romeo and Juliet.

We meet on Tuesdays once a month from 7 to 8:30 P.M. in a quiet spot in the back of a Barnes & Noble store in New Hope Commons, Durham.

The core concept is from Evelyn Daniel, the former dean of the SILS (School of Information and Library Science) at UNC. She advised it would be effective to have a group where individuals moderate sessions based on books that sparked their greatest passions. We also draw on an excellent idea from Michael S. of Barnes & Noble to focus on short novels, and, of course, our own approach of willful eccentricity.

Dive into some great lit with us, one page at a time!
