Let's Start A New Book Discussion

[glintofpewter]

Perhaps it is time for a book discussion Here are several suggestions. The last time we discussed a novel it was a good discussion.

 

 

Putting Away Childish Things: A Tale of Modern Faith

 

didactic novel by Marcus Borg that received good reviews. Inexpensive used copies are available

http://www.amazon.co...0&keywords=borg

 

 

Cutting for Stone Abraham Verghese

 

This novel is highly recommended by many including rivanna. Inexpensive used copies are available.

http://www.amazon.co...tting for stone

 

bookclub in a box for this book is more expensive and I am not sure how the info could be shared by the one or two who would buy the book club in a box without violating copyright but that need not stop us. Much of the info in the box is background for the novel and we find such information from those of us who participate.

 

Bookclub-in-a-Box Discusses Abraham Verghese's novel, Cutting for Stone:

The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion Jonathan Haidt

http://www.amazon.co...47765376&sr=1-1

I think this is an important book for our discussions here. Not all of us will agree. Books like this may not make good chapter by chapter studies but GeorgeW can lead us here

I split off the discussion about The Righteous Mind so it could have a stand alone thread.
