Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee

I'm a salaried, exempt employee who works for a private employer. My supervisor is MAKING teh whole department read a book on our own time. It's a motivational book, neither religious nor relative to my job. I say if he wants us to read it, it has to be during regular work hours, not on our own time. ????
