The Online Book Club is excited to announce our Fall 2018 reading selection, Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline.

Join us as we follow teenager Wade Watts as he fights to survive in a worldwide virtual reality game set in the dystopian 2040s. While evading players who are willing to kill to win the ultimate prize, inheritance of the game creator's fortune, Wade must also dig deep to find the strength and perseverance to come out on top.

We have limited FREE copies of the book available for students. You must commit to participating in the virtual discussions on Goodreads between 11/5 – 11/16 in order to receive a book.

Request your FREE book here
Join the Online Book Club on Goodreads here

*Additionally, please join us on Wednesday, November 7th at 11AM (EST) for a live faculty panel at the NYC 41st St. Campus (Room 703) and livestreamed online.

Students, faculty, and staff from every campus are welcome to join us virtually as we discuss a new work each semester.

Please contact [email protected] with any questions.

Natasha Morris-Battle (nmbattle718) | 5 comments I have received my copy and I'm reading currently. I love the world that Wade is in. For me, its a blast from my past because once I saw the word ATARI I was sold! I expect to be finished real soon because I'm enjoying it. I forgot how much I love my imagination how reading for fun triggered my muse. This is going to be great.


MarytheBookLover | 7 comments I am really excited to read this one! I can't wait to get my copy! (happy dance)

Atari - OMG, that is a blast from my past too! =)


Nakita Felder | 4 comments I can’t lie everyone... I received my copy as well and had to stop myself from reading past chapter 4 lol. It is extremely good so far, but I don’t want to read too much ahead. Can’t wait to start with everyone!!


Chelle Rose | 19 comments I have received my copy two weeks ago and I'm already on chapter 7. I'm a huge fan of online games. I was sold once I heard the word ATARI and virtual world, and Scavenger hunt I was sucked in because I love scavenger hunt games.

Hi Terysinea. Glad to hear you enjoyed the book! The virtual discussions will start on November 5th. We'll send out an email to remind everyone when the time comes.


Chelle Rose | 19 comments Hi Terysinea, nice work. I'm still reading mine but I think we start discussions in November. I have to agree it is a good book

Terysinea Campbell | 6 comments Thank you Chelle Rose


MarytheBookLover | 7 comments Loved this book! All done here!


Melanie (lovelymelc) | 12 comments I just received my book this week and was able to read up to chapter 9. At first I wasn't sure I would like the book but after reading the 1st chapter I got hooked. I wasn't all for virtual reality and video games but once I continued to read the book I realized it was more than just that and how the main character is dealing with similar things we are facing now like climate change, global warming and ice caps melting (etc.) I can't wait to read what happens next; I hope everyone else is enjoying it as well.


Nakita Felder | 4 comments Book was amazing, I hurriedly finished the last twenty pages at work so once I got home I rented the film (which is much different from the book detail-wise). Fantastic read! While I had been at work reading as well, some customers would comment on how great of a read Ready Player One was, including my bosses!!


Natasha Morris-Battle (nmbattle718) | 5 comments It’s a great book so nerdy like myself lol


MarytheBookLover | 7 comments I was unable to find the live stream...
