Rule of Three Reading Group
3rd Thursday of the Month from 6:30 — 8:00 PM
Named for the “rule of three” principle in writing and joke-telling, this reading group considers three pieces each month: a short story, a poem, and an essay, all connected by a theme. Join us to be introduced to new authors, new forms, and new ideas. Download a PDF of the readings, or pick up printed copies at the West Windsor reference desk.
