Book Discussion for the Penn Community

In the spirit of discovery and community, the Penn Book Talk Group has been meeting once a month in Van Pelt Library since 1982. The group is primarily made up of Penn staff and faculty, and all are welcome to join the discussion. It is a time to reflect on all manner of literature and non-fiction in an informal and collegial environment. Check out the online bibliography to see what they are reading this month and find recommendations from past discussions. Book Talk meets in the Meyerson Conference Room (Room 223) on the second floor of the Van Pelt Library on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 1 p.m. 

February 19 The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith, 1952

March 19 The Stargazer’s Sister: a Novel by Carrie Brown, 2015
