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 two Liu Cixin short stories

 

 

We’re starting the new semester off with a bang, reading two translated short stories by Hugo award-winner Liu Cixin, author of The Three Body Problem. We’ll discuss “Yuanyuan’s Bubbles” and “The Village Schoolteacher.” Our meeting will take place on Thursday, September 26th at noon over Zoom.

As always, you’re welcome regardless of how much (or whether) you’ve read. Just RSVP to receive the Zoom link the morning of the meeting. We hope to see you there!
