YOUR ONLINE BOOK CLUB

DukeReads provides alumni and friends a chance to discuss a range of books -- contemporary, classic, fiction, and nonfiction -- from the comfort of your computer.

Seven titles, offered over seven months, are selected by Duke bibliophiles. The first book of the reading semester is the title chosen for the incoming class by Duke's Summer Reading Program. DukeReads is sponsored by the Duke Alumni Association and Duke University Libraries, with the assistance of a community of partners listed below.
