Humboldt Book Club

Invite

You are cordially invited to the next meeting of the Humboldt Book Club at 6pm on 15 April 2025 in Room 0.03, Dorotheenstraße 28, the premises of the Department of English and American Studies.

Our pick: Olive Kitteridge by Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout

In case anyone is feeling apprehensive about coming along to the Book Club, I would like to once again reiterate that this “club” is an interdepartmental social activity, open to everyone working or studying at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Rest assured, whatever your level of English, it will be enough for you to be part of the group. The atmosphere is very relaxed and people can particpate as much or as little as they wish.
