Book Club 2021 Dates

Inception and Overview

In July 2017, the OSU Alumni Club of Athens County launched a book club for the membership.  The goal of this book club is to be a venue that will bring readers together, encouraging reading for enrichment and pleasure.

We began with reading titles assigned for OSU’s Common Experience but branched out to include other titles.  Our reading list includes both non-fiction and fiction, but non-fiction is our primary choice.  We read one book a month and then meet to discuss.

Purpose

The purpose of our book club is to engage with the club members who are interested in reading, engaging in discussion, and enjoying camaraderie with like-minded members.

Selection Criteria

We strive to read as diverse list each year as possible.  The main criteria for inclusion are literary quality, readability and appropriate length, and interest to the book club members.

The 2021 Meeting Schedule

• All book club meetings are scheduled for the last Thursday of the month, unless otherwise noted.
• The meeting commences at 5:30 pm, at Athens Uncorked.  As of March 2020, the Pandemic has paused in-person meetings.  Until it is safe to meet in-person, the club meets via Zoom.  Anyone who is interested in joining the conversation, please contact Keith Morrow, keith@kmorrow.us.
