Hi everyone! Our next meeting for the book club is Tuesday, February 10, 2009.
We’re going to discuss Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, an old classic that many people may have read for school.
We’ll meet in the Seminar Room (2nd Floor) of Gleeson Library from 12 noon – 1 pm.
If you want to get the book through Link+, follow this link. Link+ is free and takes about 4 business days.
Alternatively, you can get the book through San Francisco Public Library.
Or get an audio book of it through San Francisco Public Library.
Remember the book club is now open to all members of the USF Community, so bring your friends, professors, students, and your lunch for a great discussion!
This 50 year old novel still strikes a chord about cultural traditions and the clash with imperialism. Subtle in narrative, the book is rich with many discussion topics (families, patriarchal societies, traditions, Christianity, etc.).
I welcome a full and lively discussion on February 10th.
Love the Gleeson blog. You guys should have a monthly feature where librarians, staff, and faculty do a guest post on their favorite book in the library . . .
We’re open to guest posters! What’s your favorite book in the library?
I noticed we have a video with an interview of the author, that might enrich the discussion

We also have several books that discuss the author and his work.
