Dudes Who Read Book Club: All Quiet on the Western Front

About

Join us for Dudes Who Read, led by our very own library bookworms, Dennis and Oliver. This month, the dudes will be discussing All Quiet on the Western Front in honor of Veteran's Day. This month's meeting will be at The Patio (138 E Colorado Ave). Light snacks will be provided. Seats are limited, so make sure to sign up to secure your spot. I am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. . . . This is the testament of Paul Bäumer, who enlists with his classmates in the German army during World War I. They become soldiers with youthful enthusiasm. But the world of duty, culture, and progress they had been taught breaks in pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches. Through years of vivid horror, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principle of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against one another . . . if only he can come out of the war alive.
