On the 4^th of November 2025, the Avid Readers’ Forum met for yet another spirited and intellectually stimulating discussion on Grace Ogot’s short story “Land without thunder.”  The lead reader for the day’s session was Billheart Braxton, a second year law student at Kabarak University. From the outset, it was clear that this was more than a literary conversation, it was a deep dive into the psychology, spirituality, and artistry embedded in African storytelling.

On 28^th October, we read Minutes of glory, a short story by Ngugi wa Thiong’o. The session was led by Rebecca Muhindi, a fourth-year law student at Kabarak University. We began the session by a word of prayer, followed by a round of reading where everyone read a paragraph or two and then finally, we delved into the discussion before handing over to the coordinator and concluding with a word of prayer.
