Read in Peace Book Club: A club for the living to discuss the dead

Read in Peace Book Club is a free monthly book discussion at Historic Oakwood Cemetery, open to all and held at 10am on the third Thursday of each month in the House of Memory.

The group discusses its most recent book, and attendees are asked to bring coffee and a curious mind. Anyone who has not read the book is welcome to come and listen. Signs will point the way, and attendees should arrive through the Oakwood Ave entrance.

The Fall 2026 reading list:

• September: The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
• October: Wolf Worm by T. Kingfisher
• November: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt
• December: Playing Possum by Susana Monso

The organizers are putting together the list for the next quarter and want recommendations, especially favorite books on local history, the death industry, cemeteries and monumental art. Suggestions, questions and concerns go to Program Coordinator Brianna McCormick at [email protected].
