Book Club

The Business Honors Book Club? Why would a college student toting an already heavily-laden backpack want to read more books?

Reading increases your understanding of the world and exposes you to new perspectives. Books are a fun way to educate yourself; a passionate author can take the driest of subjects and fashion a captivating tale. Reading will improve your vocabulary, grammar, and spelling. In addition, reading can ignite your creativity as it exposes you to situations you may never experience on your own- riding a camel, building a bridge, or chasing a tornado. Readers always have something to talk about- that could come in handy at the next reception or business dinner.

Add to all that the fun of sitting down and discussing a book with friends. Our book club discussion will help your listening, debating, negotiating, and presentation skills!

We will choose six books a year to discuss- three in the fall and three in the spring. You do not need to come to every meeting to be a book club member- you can pick and choose the books that interest you. The only rules are that you read the book before you come and that you are prepared to engage in the discussion.
