About One Book
The "One Book, One Community" program encourages the East Lansing and Michigan State University community to read the same book over a six-week period this fall and to come together to discuss it in a variety of settings. Although dozens of similar programs have been sponsored nationwide, this is one of the very few that bring together a city and a university.
The 2008 program will run from August 20th to September 18th. The book selection this year is Benson Deng, Alephonsion Deng, and Benjamin Ajak with Judy A. Bernstein's They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky.
