ATTENTION BOOKWORMS!!
The LNMU Book Club provides students the opportunity to discuss a wide variety of different novels chosen by esteemed members of the Marquette University faculty and staff. Book Club discussions are facilitated by the faculty or staff member that has chosen the book.
How much will this cost me??
The first thirty (30) students to pick-up the book will receive the book FREE! Any other students who would still like to participate can, but will need to purchase the book on their own.
REMINDER!!! I know that a number of you are very excited to read these books each month, however, if you should pick-up a book and afterwards realize that you are not going to have enough time to commit to reading it, PLEASE be sure to return your book to our office, as we very often have a number of students that would like to be a part of the discussion but were not able to pick-up a book before we run out!
When will the books be made available?
The books are available for pick-up immediately. You can pick-up your book in the Office of Student Development, Alumni Memorial Union, #121. The books are available on a first come first serve basis. Please be cognizant of your schedule and what that might look like during the month of March. If you do not think that you will be able to read the book in the time given we ask that you leave the book for someone who will be able to read it.
When/Where is the Next LNMU Book Club Meeting?
Information is forthcoming.
Book Synopsis
Born in a village in heartland India, the son of a rickshaw puller, Balram is taken out of school by his family and put to work in a teashop. As he crushes coals and wipes tables, he nurses a dream of escape - of breaking away from the banks of Mother Ganga, into whose depths have seeped the remains of a hundred generations.
The White Tiger is a tale of two Indias. Balram’s journey from darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and altogether unforgettable.
Happy Reading!
