Book Discussion Night
A while back, I hosted a book discussion group on "Radical Homemakers" by Shannon Hayes. The event was well attended and we had a good time discussing the concepts that Shannon described in her book. After the event, there was some talk on the forums about doing another book discussion night. After a few ideas, the conversation sorta ran down.
I'd like to revive the idea of a book discussion night and I volunteer to moderate it. I am interested in your suggestions for books to discuss. Proposed books should be in print or available via the Internet. It should be on a topic of interest to Ithacaners.
A couple of books have already been suggested:
- Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan (food and society)
- The Long Descent, by John Michael Greer (energy and economy)
What are your suggestions?

Another suggestion...The Contrary Farmer's Invitation to Gardening by Gene Logsdon...or anything else by Gene Logsdon. I've read 2 of Logsdon's books and found them to be a rare treat: practical as well as inspirational.
