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 “My Man Jeeves”

Join the Low Maintenance Book Club on Thursday, December 4th  at noon over Zoom for a post-holiday romp through British society as we read selections from P.G. Wodehouse’s My Man Jeeves . The discussion will specifically cover the stories “Jeeves takes Charge,” “Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest,” “Jeeves and the Hard-boiled Egg” and “Bertie Changes His Mind.”

The book is freely available through Project Gutenberg  and Duke University Libraries. As always, you’re welcome to join us no matter how much (or whether) you’ve read! Please RSVP to receive a Zoom link the morning of the meeting. We hope to see you there!
