The DKU Intercultural Book Club is hosted by Austin Woerner in partnership with the Duke Kunshan University Library.

Each session the Book Club will choose one book to read in both English and Chinese. Read in whichever language you prefer and come ready to discuss your reactions to the book with other readers who may have experienced it in the other language!

昆杜跨文化读书会是由 Austin Woerner （温侯廷）与昆山杜克大学图书馆携手主持的一个文学社团。

每个月我们会选一本有中英文版的书，大家可以选自己喜欢的版本（中文版或英文版）然后一起分享各自的阅读心得。

Slaughterhouse Five is a wickedly funny satirical sci-fi novel with one of the most famous opening lines in English literature. Billy Pilgrim becomes unstuck in time, survives World War II, and spends time in an alien zoo. This is a classic must read from one of America's funniest novelists. —Kevin Sprague

《五号屠场》是一本奇特的充满了黑色幽默的反战科幻小说，有着英文文学中最为著名的开场白之一。主人公比利·皮尔格林困在了跳跃闪现的时间碎片之中，这使他从二战中幸存，但也使他去到了外星人的动物园。我认为《五号屠场》是最有趣的美国小说中必读的经典。——凯文
