Associated Students Full- and Part-Time Employee Book Club

This Book Club is for Associated Students (A.S.) Full- & Part-time Employees Only.

The A.S. Book Club meets at 4:30 PM every second Thursday of each month in the Council Chambers located on the 3rd floor of the Aztec Student Union. At our meetings each member shares their thoughts and ideas about the book, what they like and didn’t like about it. And at the end of the meeting, we each rate the book from 1 to 5 stars, with 5 being great!

If you are thinking about joining the Club but don’t want the expense of purchasing a book each month, the San Diego Public Library offers print books, eBooks and audiobooks, for most titles. All you need is a library card, and its FREE! Or listen for FREE on the library’s app, the Libby App by OverDrive.

Cover of The Rosie Project: A Novel by Graeme Simsion

The Rosie Project: A Novel

by Graeme Simsion

Meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially challenged professor of genetics, who’s decided it’s time he found a wife. And so, in the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs the Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a sixteen-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers. Rosie Jarman is all these things. She also is strangely beguiling, fiery, and intelligent. And while Don quickly disqualifies her as a candidate for the Wife Project, as a DNA expert Don is particularly suited to help Rosie on her own quest: identifying her biological father. When an unlikely relationship develops as they collaborate on the Father Project, Don is forced to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie—and the realization that, despite your best scientific efforts, you don’t find love, it finds you. Arrestingly endearing and entirely unconventional, Graeme Simsion’s distinctive debut will resonate with anyone who has ever tenaciously gone after life or love in the face of great challenges. The Rosie Project is a rare find: a book that restores our optimism in the power of human connection.
