The OGPL Book Club is currently Looking For Alaska by John Green. 

 

We will meet to discuss this on October 5th.

 The Olive G Pettis Book Club meets on the first Thursday of each month from 6:30 to 7:30 PM 

In September we are reading Looking For Alaska by John Green. Looking for Alaska tied for 5th place on the ALA's Banned Book List of 2022. We are reading this book in honor of Banned Book week: October 1st-7th.

 

Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (Francois Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . .
After. Nothing is ever the same.
