We have recently started a new monthly book discussion group at Dorcas Library called “Let’s Talk Books.

Our goal was to encourage all readers to have fun reading, and to extend themselves beyond established comfort zones. We also wanted the group to offer more choices, and different options for presentation [beyond a ten minute…[Read more]

Anyone have time to reach out to these communities and ask how the program is working…[Read more]

Then, we can begin to visualize how to hold on to the atmosphere and energy we love, but build toward a sustainable future for the community.

Here is a website, and a few books I am beginning this semester. The website is for the Orton Family…[Read more]

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.

I will read something new and go, meh, it was alright once. but the books i own are the ones i will reread. of course it is easier to get them at the library or in ebook form first, requires less room than second hand books and cheaper than buying them new.

I like Robert Heinlein, Stephen R. Donaldson, Patricia A.…[Read more]

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.

Maine history is featured in The Lobster Coast. American history in The American Character.

Lucid. Readable. Well-reasoned.
