The Book Club celebrates Litquake! Please join us for two exciting Litquake events, both at The Book Club:
 Monday, October 10, 2011, 6:00 PM
The Best Novels You Haven’t Read
Free
Novels have captured readers’ imaginations for hundreds of years. What is it about this literary form that keeps people coming back for more? Scholars from UC Berkeley and Stanford come together to discuss the evolution of the novel, and uncover some novelistic gems overlooked by the reading public.
Kent Puckett, Nancy Ruttenburg, Ramón Saldívar, Namwali Serpell
