08. June 2026: «Flowers for Algernon» by Daniel Keyes

Hello book lovers!

I have been meaning to read this month's book for quite a while, and I'm very excited to announce it was one of the top-ranked books in our vote: Please read the 1966 classic sci-fi novel, «Flowers for Algernon» by Daniel Keyes, and come to our Monday 08. June 2026 meeting prepared to discuss it.

Be aware that there is a novel of approximately 250-300 pages, and a much shorter novelette, which is a short story of around 26 pages. We will be reading the full novel. You are welcome to use any edition / language you would like; I will be using this one.

As always I will try to bring something fun to eat / drink! You are welcome to bring something to eat for yourself, or even to share if you would like; there are plates and glasses we can use. The Bibliothek requests no smelly food.

Please RSVP here on Meetup if you plan to show up, so I have a head count. If you can't make it, please remove your RSVP.

We will review and discuss the selected book of the month, in English! This will be a group discussion, which I will gently moderate to keep participants engaged and focused.

As the discussion winds down, time is allotted for participants to recommend future books, and to provide feedback to help shape the direction of subsequent meetings.

If you would like to receive a discount ordering this book, give me your first and last name if you haven't done so already, and I will gladly add you to the list at the Schuler Bücher bookstore at Bahnhofstrasse 22 in Chur; remind them that you are in the English Book Club (or for online orders, type this in the notes field), and you will get a 10% discount when you pay at the register.
