At university, the stack of books and articles to read and study can seem endless, especially when you are reading in a foreign language. How can you read effectively, so that you learn what you need without wasting time on what you don’t? How can you read actively and critically, really thinking about what you read? In this lecture, we will consider some strategies and tips for effective reading, using A Short History of Nearly Everything and A Brief History of Time as examples. As some of them ask for whether we have following book clubs outside the English online courses, we are going to keep holding the book clubs in Library Reading Corner each Saturday afternoon.

Overstory won the Pulitzer Prize in 2019. It’s mainly about the stories of nine protagonists, each with their unique connections to trees. Because of trees, they meet and go towards different destinies. However, they still believe that nature will revenge on humans for destroying forests. The book’s author, Richard Boles, is an alum of UIUC. It was recommended by Professor Mary Lucille Hays of ZJUI and was selected as the summer reading book before the summer vacation.
