2 much, 3 many

Bring up the subject of evolution and pretty soon we have evolved into a discussion of religion, including the tale of how and why Dan’s Jesuit prof. at Marquette gave him an F in is Marriage and Religion class. And he wasn’t even married. How many book groups talk about that stuff?

We have also transcended another book group custom by reading 3 totally unrelated books for the same month among 5 participants. Of Moths & Men by Judith Hooper, After the Ice Age: The Return of Life to Glaciated North America by E. C. Pielou, and Tent Camping in Siberia by George Kennan. Dan was “reading ahead” on that one.

Next month will feature a selection as well. Watch for a list of books by Rick Bass and Terry Tempest Williams. I promised to post some other stuff as well and that will happen when I get a bit more time over the next few days.
