Reading and Community

In this episode, Matthew Lee Anderson and Anika Prather join Cherie Harder to discuss our shared heritage in the canon of western literature, the ephemerality of a post-reading culture, and the benefits of communal reading. This podcast is an edited version of an Online Conversation, which you can find with video and transcript, here.

We encourage you to put the ideas discussed in this episode into practice by starting your own reading group. The Trinity Forum Bookclub Box has everything you need to get started.

If you’re interested in reading literature in community, we encourage you to check out our newly announced Bookclub Box. The Bookclub Box is designed to make it easy for you to host your own reading group. Each quarter will release a new box with a trio of curated, thematically linked Trinity Forum Readings. You’ll also get a discussion guide to spur conversation on each of the Readings, as well as some other great Trinity Forum items, including a tote bag, notepad, pen and bookmark.

Below are some Trinity Forum Readings that are pertinent to this discussion.
