The MIT Literary Society creates a comfortable atmosphere for undergraduates to freely discuss their book interests. We read one book every month and meet on Fridays twice a month to cover the entire book. The group votes on book selections, choosing from genres that range from the classics to contemporary works. All members get to lead a part of each discussion. Future events may include guest speakers from MIT’s faculty and viewings of movies based on books.
We are currently reading...

Book/Attendance Policy
-
Book dues: For the low cost of $2, members can receive a new
book! Thanks to the Literature Section
and Humanities Library, these books are provided for you at a
great discounted price.
Please note: Students are welcome to bring their own copy of the
book to the meeting if they do not
want to pay this cost.
- Members who pick up a book must attend at least half (1 out of
2) of the meetings based on that book.
- Members are not required to read every book. However, if a
member decides not to read a selection, he/she must return the
book. Of course, members are encouraged to join the group for future
discussions on other works.
Return policy: Books can be returned to 14N-407. Please try to return the book as soon as possible to give other students an opportunity to read the book in time for the meeting.
- Members who miss more than half of the meetings for TWO book selections will not be permitted to pick up any more books until the following semester.
