Join us at our al fresco book club this summer and explore graphic novels and classic novellas. Sign up at the Reading Room in advance and pick up your free book, then return to discuss with like-minded fans and hosts.
Hosted by Chasity Moreno, Librarian, NYPL, and Miriam Tuliao, Penguin Random House:
"'When you sell a man a book,' says Roger Mifflin, the sprite-like book peddler at the center of this classic novella, 'you don’t sell him just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue—you sell him a whole new life.' In this beguiling but little-known prequel to Christopher Morley’s beloved Haunted Bookshop, the 'whole new life' that the traveling bookman delivers to Helen McGill, the narrator of Parnassus on Wheels, provides the romantic comedy that drives this charming love letter to a life in books."
Produced in partnership with Penguin Random House, Melville House Publishing, and DC Comics.
BookClub is free to join and does not require registration!
Stop by the Reading Room in advance of the event, sign up, and receive your free copy. A limited supply of each book featured this season will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
