Great Books Reading Groups at Flyleaf Books (click titles for detailed descriptions)

Yearning to revisit some of your favorite classics? Join UNC faculty discussion leaders for a session on context and meaning, and then return in two weeks to tackle substantive issues in the text. We are pleased to offer Great Books Reading Groups in partnership with Flyleaf Books of Chapel Hill. To be sure we are literally on the same page, every participant will receive a copy of the book before the first session. The Reading Group meets on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Flyleaf Books. Light refreshments will be offered.

Language Lunches are at Flyleaf Books (752 MLK Jr. Blvd. in Chapel Hill) from noon to 1:00 p.m. Seats are limited, so sign up early to reserve your spot! The cost is $20.
