~FEBRUARY'S CHOICE~


HELLO KITTY....KITTY


Send in the cats! The book selection for the month of February brings out the love in all of us, but espically cats. For February, we will be reading the book "Dewey." It's the book about a lovable cat who ends up in the book deposit, and continues to stay with the library.
This would be what "Marley & Me," did for dogs. If you are a pet lover, a cat lover, a lover of loves...ok, too much, then you should like this book.
It will be on February 20th, 2010 at Fat Man's 9:00am.
Information on the book, and other things to follow.
Also, cat stories for postings on here are also welcome.
HAPPY READING!

TEA PARTY

Every time the club gets to together, it's a party. This particular time, January 16th, we got together and discussed "Three Cups of Tea." It was very informing about how Afganastan is shown in a more interesting light. I believe that the book was saying that we should try for things that involve peace, rather than violence. And if the people would see us, or others in the world, as trying to help their people out, then they wouldn't want to give into violence as well.

Greg Mortinsen tries to promote peace by doing things positively. By doing so, he gets a better idea across.

Most people enjoyed the book once they started it. It was a little hard to start, but once you got into the book and started learning, it was better.

I think the consensus is to read it. You learn about a different culture, and you also broaden your ideas of what a few people can do to change something around them.

A new year, a new decade, and a new book selection. For January, the next selection in the book club is "Three Cups of Tea," by Greg Mortenson. It tells the story of how he is trying to bring education into the Afganistan culture, I believe espically with the woman.

An eye opening book, and hopefully lively discussion for it. Do you think everyone deserves and education? Do you think that it should only be men? Woman? Interesting things to think about with this read.
