Family, Alumni, & Community

You don't have to be an incoming student at K-State to participate in our common reading program. Here are some things you can do with your friends and family.

Read the book

• Purchase a copy online or from your local bookstore.
• Borrow a paper copy from your public library.
• Borrow an eBook (both Kindle and Adobe ePUB) of the book from Sunflower eLibrary (public library card required).

Discussion

• Initiate a conversation with your incoming student about the book.
• Start a book discussion or use Ready Player On in your book club. You can use the ideas listed on our faculty resource page or come up with your own questions.

Play

• Check your local library for video games and console rentals
• Host an 80s party
• Host a movie screening of films from the books
