The Reading Club!

(click on the title above to visit our Facebook page and give us a huge "Like")

WHO WE ARE
We are a book club made up of English-speaking students, alumni and teachers at Lucian Blaga University who love to read. Our club is organized by the Department of British and American Studies. Participation in our weekly meetings is not restricted to club members, but extends to English-speaking guests from outside the University. There is no membership fee and no attendance obligation. We promote an informal, relaxed atmosphere in our meetings.

WHAT WE DO
Our meetings cover a wide area of interests that range from Shakespeare’s sonnets and plays to contemporary Anglo-American literature and cinema, from Christmas carols to politically correct versions of fairy tales, and from the work of the great classics to the creative writing and critical productions of club members. We also organize and participate in events such as book bazaars, theatre evenings and nights out, creative writing workshops conducted by reputed British writers, colloquia and symposia during the Anglo-American week scheduled by our Department in mid-May, Shakespeare celebration evenings in April, Christmas carol concerts, etc. We publish a journal titled "Cultures in Transit" that includes a selection of the papers presented at the student symposium, as well as creative writing productions. Our upcoming webpage contains the most valuable productions of our members – creative writing as well as literary criticism – and we invite constructive comments and reactions in the Forum section.

WHEN & WHERE
We meet weekly, throughout the academic term, on Thursdays between 7 and 9 p.m., either in Room 54 or 62 of the Faculty of Letters and Arts or in a Café on creative writing evenings. Topics of discussion are announced by means of paper and virtual posters, e-mail newsletters and word of mouth and are decided on by the members present at the preceding meeting.
