'I'm Glad I Read It'

I'm Glad I Read It' Series

Please join us for informal discussion of some cherished reading expereinces. Each week a faculty member will present briefly on something they are glad to have read, followed by discussion. No pre-reading is required. The hope is that we will have a chance to learn about - and perhaps become interested in reading - works we do not know much about. Feel free to bring your lunch, and feel free to drop in for single sessions. All are welcome: undergrads, postgrads and staff.
