F04M Athenaeum Book Club (Hybrid/In-Person)

In-Person | Available (Membership Required)

The Athenaeum Book Club is a peer-led discussion group that welcomes curious minds, lifelong readers, and anyone looking to discover the joy of reading. Together we will explore thought-provoking fiction and engaging nonfiction that challenge our perspectives and spark meaningful conversations. Our first session will be devoted to getting to know each other (new, seasoned, and founding members) and book selection. Please come prepared with a book or books that you would like to nominate (this is not a requirement; you can still vote for the books we will read.) We will vote and select 6 books (4 fiction and 2 non-fiction) for the fall, winter, and spring terms. Enrollment Limit: 35 Discussion

  • *This registration item is HYBRID/IN-PERSON, which means that you can attend either in-person or via Zoom. DO NOT also register for the Zoom section of this course.*
