Because we’re the adventurous types and always wishing to talk about books with smart people, we thought we’d try something new: an online book discussion group.  We think we’ll always have a bias to the flesh and the face, but since it’s not likely most of you will be moving to Wichita anytime soon we’re willing to take what we can of you!  Our first book will be Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead (hardcover/paperback), her worth-the-20-year-wait follow-up to Housekeeping.  It’s one of our favorites and one of our bestsellers, so we feel pretty confident choosing this one for our little experiment in cyber-dialogue.  The conversation will start on June 26th here in the Forums, so pick up your copy of the book now and join us for a lively discussion.  Order it during the Memorial Day sale and save an extra 5%!
