Book Chat 7 years, 3 months agoHi, everyone.
We have recently started a new monthly book discussion group at Dorcas Library called “Let’s Talk Books.

Faith replied to the topic Do you only read once? Or do you re-read with pleasure? in the forum
Book Chat 8 years, 1 month agoI enjoy Heinlein, as well. I think my favorite is Friday, followed closely by I will Fear No Evil. However, the book I recommend most frequently has to be Revolt in 2100, written in 1953, and so apt today.

Book Chat 8 years, 1 month agoAs for me, I am a re-reader. Certain favorites are comfort soul food. Like macaroni and cheese for the brain. Here are a few: anything by Jane Austen or Louisa May Alcott; The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien; Alice’s Adventures, Lewis Carroll; The Once & Future King, TH White.

Faith started the topic Books:Colin Woodard in the forum
Civics & Community 8 years, 1 month agoSo, I highly recommend Colin Woodard for a greater understanding of regional politics. Maine history is featured in The Lobster Coast. American history in The American Character.
Lucid. Readable. Well-reasoned.
