Low Maintenance Book Club

Who We Are

The Low Maintenance Book Club provides space for members of the Duke community to connect over reading.  Realizing how busy people are (and how much reading you probably have to do for classwork and research), we focus on quick reads.  We will read texts like short stories, graphic novels, interesting short essays, poetry, etc.  We hope you will join us for some fun and thought provoking conversations!

ONLINE: Low Maintenance Book Club reads selections from "Neighbors and Other Stories"

Join the Low Maintenance Book Club at our next meeting on Wednesday, March 26th as we discuss a selection of short stories from Diane Oliver’s collection Neighbors and Other Stories.  Although you’re welcome to read the entire work, we’ll focus on "Neighbors," "When the Apples are Ripe," and "Mint Juleps Not Served Here."  As usual, we’ll meet at noon over Zoom. Copies of the collection are available from Duke University Libraries or your local public library.

As always, you’re welcome to join us regardless of how much (or whether) you’ve read! Just make sure to RSVP to receive a Zoom link the morning of the meeting. Hope to see you there!
