Welcome to the “I love to read but don’t have time right now because my life is super crazy right now and I don’t have time to read for fun but I would still like to hear about some interesting books to lose myself in when I do have some free time.” Book Club.

Hopefully you are at a point when you can take an hour break to spend some time talking about books - for fun and relaxation. No books to read in preparation for the meetings. No being put on the spot in a discussion. Lots of different themes to tempt every interest.. If you’ve read any of the selections, feel free to chime in (if you’re so inclined) and give another perspective. If you have suggestions for books to add to the Reading List, please email Sandy Placzek (splaczek2@unl.edu) and she will add them. The Reading Lists will remain on the LibGuide for you to refer back to when you do have time to read!

Take a look at the topics; hopefully at least one will grab your interest and you’ll be able to join us for the “I Don’t Have Time to Read Right Now” Bookclub.

At today’s book club, I will be talking about collecting signed books and music. A little bit about strategies and a few fun stories, such as how I happened to get Willie Nelson to sign my program and how I nearly melted talking with Bryan Stephenson after hearing his keynote address at a conference….(okay, truth be told, I thoroughly embarrassed myself!) I will also share a few challenges for collecting signed books, such as, if you have a book signed, “Presented by the author,” does this count? I also have a couple of tips for where to find them. Today’s topic will be led by Richard Leiter. The Zoom link is https://unl.zoom.us/j/95695213765. The Reading Lists can be found at https://schmidguides.unl.edu/bookclub.
