Emma Duffy | Monday, April 3, 2023

Twelve books, 10,500 lines and plenty of sinful apples — all were consumed during this year’s Milton Marathon, an all-day reading of John Milton’s “Paradise Lost.” On Saturday, students and faculty gathered in the Program of Liberal Studies’ third-floor lounge in O’Shaughnessy Hall to spend approximately 10 hours with the epic poem in blank verse.

The dust jacket paradox or: How I learned to keep worrying and love the library

Isa Sheikh | Friday, March 31, 2023

I still never know what to do with a hardcover book that comes into my possession. Do I throw off the flimsy dust jacket that gives the book its character, or do I keep it on as it writhes and wrinkles at the edges? Every time I prowl the less-than-pristine shelves of a used bookstore,

‘Red flag’ literature: On not judging a book by its cover

Elizabeth Prater | Tuesday, November 29, 2022

“Catcher in the Rye.” “The Prince.” “Norwegian Wood.” These are all some of the books that are commonly cited as “red flags” when a person indicates them as one of their favorites. There is something unsettling about nominating these texts, amongst others, as “one of the greats.”  A lot of these books concern controversial topics and feature

The addictive aspects of ‘Lord of the Rings’

Mikey Colgan | Tuesday, November 8, 2022

When people brought up “The Lord of the Rings” in the past, I used to laugh at the series. Why would I want to watch a bunch of tiny hobbits, dwarves and elves go on a journey over some fuss about a gold ring? It all sounded far too mythical and fantasy-like for me. In other

Red flag reading

Emma Duffy | Sunday, October 30, 2022

Social media is full of comments on what books are acceptable to read. There are warnings plastered all across online platforms declaring that it is a red flag if someone likes “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D.

This year, Notre Dame’s book club is striving to go global by picking a book with an international connection each month. To maximize their multiculturalism, the officers plan to collaborate with Notre Dame’s cultural clubs that correspond with their monthly read. “We are choosing books based on different cultures,” said book club president and graduate

Hanif Abdurraqib: Someone we can all learn from

Claire Lyons | Monday, October 3, 2022

The difficulty in discussing Hanif Abdurraqib’s work lies in the fact that I cannot describe his artistic mission as eloquently as he can. He is the type of writer that I think everybody strives to be: ambitious but not pretentious, emotional but objective, disarming but doesn’t leave too much of himself on the page, etc.

St. Joe’s new library is a modern-day utopia

Gracie Eppler | Tuesday, November 16, 2021

Grandma pulled up in her grey Toyota, the letters “BKS4ME” etched across her license plate. As my neighbors and I loaded into her backseat in our plaid uniforms, she handed us each a baggie of apple slices and a book to read. “God’s Mailbox,” “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” or something a little more mature
