For those who were at our Spring book club and read “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” I came across this article by the same author and thought you’d enjoy reading it.

Also, we had a couple of additional suggestions for our next gathering, so here’s the final list. If you already voted and want to change your mind, that’s fine. Just please make your suggestion(s) to me by next Friday, 9/2, and I’ll let you know our choice for the November discussion.

Hello BROADS (Book Readers of a Democratic Slant).

We had a great discussion last night – I always feel a little smarter after one of our get-togethers.

We also had a few new faces – welcome to Michelle Baysz and Andrea Sethi.  Betty Sharp brought a couple of new faces with her as well and I didn’t get their email addresses so I ask that Betty please forward this to them.

We’re looking for book suggestions for our next meeting (November).  Here are some that we talked about last night.  If anyone has any other suggestions, please send me the info by next Friday, 8/26.  I’ll then compile a list to send out for a vote.

American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America

Founding Brothers

The Nine:  Inside the World of the Supreme Court

Screwed: The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class — And What We Can Do About It

So please look these over and if you have any other ideas, get them to me by next Friday and then we’ll take a vote.

Cheers,
Lynn Wolfe
