The Dikeou Collection Reading Group
Members of The Dikeou Collection Reading Group join together on a monthly basis for an informal discussion of books chosen from a unified syllabus on a pre-determined topic. The group will decide dates, times, and how long the meetings will last. Members will take turns leading the discussion, but the Dikeou Collection will from time to time help steer, or generate structure if needed. Occasionally, special guests will join the discussion. The first of our topical series is called "The Warhol Reading Group".

The Dikeou Collection Reading Group blog will enable discussions to continue after meetings, or help members who missed meetings to catch up with the discussion. Non-members may follow along and interact with the group online.
All works on discussion are available at the Dikeou Collection Library for review during business hours (Fridays 11:00am-5:00pm). For those members interested in purchasing the works, we suggest halfpricedbooks.com, amazon.com, or Tattered Cover, where they are on reserve. We also suggest borrowing from the Denver Public Library.
