Best Seller Book Club: The Emperor of Gladness

To stay abreast of reader tastes and social conversations, member Jana Riess leads our Bestseller Book Club, an ongoing discussion of books chosen from The New York Times best sellers lists. This is a chance to read the books you keep hearing about!

In July, we're reading The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong.

Here’s how the Best Seller Book Club works:
Using some ground rules (e.g. only first books in series), our discussion leader and librarians choose a slate of books that are on the NYT Best Seller List. We poll readers for their favorite from that list, and the winner is the book we discuss next.

We meet every other month in person at the Library. Registration required. Free to members.
