The 2026 Short Great Books Reading Group

2026 Short Great Books

Join business manager Erik Rostad in a Great Books reading group! We’ll discuss short, 2-5 hour reads in person at Landmark Booksellers. Details on joining, dates, and monthly books below.

How it works: The only requirement is to purchase the book being discussed from Landmark Booksellers. If you already have the book, just purchase any other book in the store and that’s your ticket in! Open to all ages.

Keep Me Updated: Date changes, future year lists, and reminders.
