We Know You Love to Talk About Books: Announcing the 2015 Reader's Den Online Book Discussion Schedule
Are you making your New Year's Resolutions? Is one of them to read more or to connect more with other readers? We would love to see you in the Reader's Den, NYPL's online book discussion, in 2015!
In 2015 we'll be reading fiction and nonfiction, new titles and classics that explore antiheroes and superheroes from different perspectives. Join us to discuss classic antiheroes like Camus's Mersault and Robert E. Howard's Conan. Examine Amy in Gone Girl through the lens of Euripides's Medea. If you're interested in superheroes, we'll be selected a wide range of books, from The Secret History of Wonder Woman to tales of superheroes in more modest guises, people who find their moment to be superheroes.
If you're inspired to read any of the titles on our list, we hope you'll join in the discussions and share your thoughts with us. You can find our past discussions on the Reader's Den schedule page, listed chronologically.
Happy New Year and Happy Reading!
