Voltaire's Coffees
At the beginning of the semester you will join the professor who is sponsoring one of your books in a small, informal discussion--a part of a Plan II tradition called a "Voltaire's Coffee." You should read the books for at least two Voltaire's Coffees during the summer. We encourage you to read several books and attend all the coffees that interest you.
Plan II students chose the sponsoring professors, who in turn chose the books to discuss. The result is a delightful mix of books, ranging from the sublime to the entertaining, and covering all areas of study. If the book listed has a translation, please buy the one specified, as different versions can give different impressions. The ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is noted for recommended editions. Where no ISBN is noted, choose among the most readily available editions.
Be aware that Voltaire's Coffees will occur during the first few weeks of classes; a few of them will meet before classes even begin.
