Hello Everyone, A small group of us had an enjoyable discussion Wednesday night of They Went Whistling by Barbara Holland. The book is full of amusing comments to discuss, e.g. "Career, it turns out, keep women in line more effectively than policemen or repressive husbands," or "Nothing is more effective than politics for neutralizing your opinions and toning down your wayward ways". For September, we are reading The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, by Malcolm Gladwell. We will meet on Wednesday evening, September 10, at 6:30 PM in the Food Court at Colony Mill Marketplace. The Tipping Point has been on the New York Times Best Sellers List for 206 weeks. We decided it was time to read it. Here's a quote from the book, "The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do." I hope you can join us in September to discuss this interesting book. We also decided to plan a month ahead, and for October we will be reading, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, by Michael Polan. Date to be determined. Linda
