February 2011 Book Selection

If you are looking for a quick, enjoyable read, don't miss out on February's book selection, Listening is an Act of Love by Dave Isay. (Locate a library copy here.)From Publishers Weekly:

This book is a collection of the most compelling excerpts from more than 10,000 interviews recorded, compiled by StoryCorps founder Isay (Flophouse), a radio documentary producer and MacArthur fellow... To gather the stories, StoryCorps provides a facility, recording equipment and a facilitator, then waits for people to invite loved ones, friends, grandparents to sit down for a 40-minute session. A copy of the tape is filed in the Library of Congress, and parts have aired on NPR. As Isay says, I realized how many people among us feel completely invisible, believe their lives don't matter, and fear they'll someday be forgotten.

We'll meet at 8pm on Thursday, February 17th at the Hincheys'. Hope you can join us!
