Reading Schedule For 2011

Hi Everyone! In FEBRUARY we are currently reading Moloka'i by Alan Brennert. I am about halfway through and it is great so far! I will post more details on when and where book club is held at a later date.I think right now it is scheduled for February 24th.

Thank you to everyone who came to January's meet up! We decided that we would just read every suggestion on the list. There were 9 suggestions so it worked out perfectly! Obviously, we are flexible and can change any suggestions if someone changes their mind. But, it just seemed easy this way. Below is the list of books for the next nine consecutive months. On one of the months we decided to read two books together. Some did not have any interest in reading The Omnivore's Dilemma while others very much wanted to do so. Jordan suggested a book about the meat packing industry that would go very nicely with the discussion for BOTH books. So we are reading The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan and The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Everyone can just choose which one they would like to read and we will discuss both. I think that month will be a great discussion and it should work out as the topic is similar.

I will be working this week to get them on the sidebar for permanent viewing. Let me know if you have questions! I can be emailed at lesliehatch@gmail.com
