December - january book: Fahrenheit 451

for our next book we decided on 'peoria reads' selection - Fahrenheit 451, so that we can get involved with more people in the community. the thought behind this decision is to open channels of communication with new people with the ultimate goal of bringing about the great turning that david korten talks about in his book and video.

also some of us (especially harry and bob) have been learning and practicing renewable/sustainable living - have started community gardens - would like to share our experience and knowledge with others and learn from others.

if you're interested but haven't had a chance to read the book or watch the video u can borrow either or both from the global vollage. i have already put two copies of the dvd provided by Harry Elger and i'll make sure there is at least one copy of the book provided by Paul Appel. u may also want to visit thegreatturning.net/

also in circulation are copies of 3 most recent issues of the yes magazine published by Korten's wife that Paul broght to our last meeting.

Peoria Reads' schedule of events for Fahrenheit 451 can be found here peoriareads.org. club read another book club is also reading the same book and will meet in Lakeview library on Wednesday, january 23, 2008 at 6:30 pm.

speaking of books, i asked the library if they have Anna Baltzer's Witness in Palestine, none of the area libraries had a copy. so when the librarian asked me if i'd like to request the library to buy this book, i jumped and requested. i don't know if they'll really buy it or not but the chances will greatly improve if some other people asked for the book and put in a request if it is not available. if u r not in the area u could still ask and request for anna's or any other book.
