What is the Great Michigan Read?

Michigan Humanities’ Great Michigan Read creates a statewide discussion around the humanities themes of a selected book. Through partnerships with libraries, schools, book clubs, and a wide range of other non-profit organizations, the Great Michigan Read facilitates statewide reading and programs to bridge communities around a common conversation.

The Great Michigan Read kicked off in 2007-08 with The Nick Adams Stories by Ernest Hemingway. During the 2019-20 program, more than 300 participating organizations shared over 10,000 copies of What the Eyes Don’t See with readers in 80 of Michigan’s 83 counties, and Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha spoke at nearly 30 in-person and virtual author events.

Previous Great Michigan Read books include Stealing Buddha’s Dinner, by Bich Minh Nguyen (2009-10); Arc of Justice, by Kevin Boyle (2011-12); Annie’s Ghosts, by Steve Luxenberg (2013-14); Station Eleven, by Emily St. John Mandel (2015-16); and X: A Novel, by Ilyasah Shabazz and Kekla Magoon (2017-18).
