These include presentations by historians, readings of plays, music events, and community service programs. We enjoy such gatherings quite a lot. Our bookstore events calendar is always evolving, so please regularly check back here for updates to our calendar (and/or follow us on social media, where all such activities are also posted). We welcome your event suggestions and thank you for your support.
Tuesday, October 8 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: John Turner joins us for a talk about Killing the Buddha on the Appalachian Trail
October 8 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
John Turner, a journalist by training, has a long relationship with the Appalachian Trail, which includes being a Trail Ambassador and member of the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club board of directors. But it’s his walking of the trail that is the subject of his beguiling book, which follows his personal journey on its pathways in search of inner peace. Killing the Buddha on the Appalachian Trail is the chronicle of what it taught him about life, about aging and learning from one’s mistakes. Come meet him and hear his remarkable yet very human story on Tuesday, October 8 at 5:30pm.
