Christmas Break Book Club

Last Christmas, we experimented with a Christmas Break Book Club for Scholars.  We all got copies of The Last Lecture, read the book over break, and then got together a couple of times in the Winter Term.  Things that worked well were the book and the initial discussions, but as the term progressed, we found it harder and harder to meet.  So ...

Christmas Break Book Club V 2.0

A Scholars Alumnus sent me the buzzfeed post, 26 books That Will Change The Way You See The World.  Since I am impressed with the ones I have read and the previous book was on the list, we will choose one of these books to read.  Somehow.  Then, students will sign up for the book club and the program will purchase copies of the book for you.  We will read the book over break and have either a Facebook group or a group blog to discuss the book as we read (this is going to depend on if everyone is on Facebook).  We will meet once during the first two weeks of Winter Term and then pass on our books to someone else who we think should read it with the instructions to do likewise.  Alumni are welcome to join us, but they will need to get their own copy of the book and we can't pay to bring you to campus in January.

So, how do you get involved?  Please help us choose a book.  Go to this link or, if it works for you, fill out the form below (they are the same).
