Book Discussion Group

Good books bring us together — that’s what the UU Princeton Book Discussion Group is all about! Come share ideas, laughter, and community as we explore new stories and perspectives. No homework vibes — just thoughtful discussion and connection. All are welcome!
Our one-hour discussions are held in the John Murray Room beginning at 12 noon on the meeting dates listed below. Keep an eye out on current newsletters and announcements for any meeting date or room changes.
For a list of great books to read and discuss with others, see the list of books previously read by the UU Princeton Book Discussion Group and by the Great Books Circle.
Contact peggy.matthews@gmail.com with questions. Happy Reading!
