| "They treated me well but I am changing." |
The Journey G and I have started this time is similar to
getting a new job. Routines change,
people change, circumstances change, opportunities change, expectations change,
unknowns change and rewards change.
Through all this change, and there is a lot,
stability is provided in taking time to read a good book this is my reading
list for our trip and on into the autumn.
The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047 - Lionel Shriver
The Harrows of Spring - James Howard Kunstler
The End of White Christian America – Robert Jones
An additional book is on order for later this year
Splinterlands – John Feffer
Two of the books won’t be here before we leave, "Jones" is being
released next month and "Feffer" later this year; they will make
good reading for the autumn. Thanks
to Paul for the "Jones" suggestion, "The Mandibles..." was reviewed on
NPR, "Splinterlands" came through a reference at Tom Dispatch and the Kunstler
novel is the completion of a four part series.
Three are conjectures of the near future which are morality plays set in
a disintegrating world and the fourth, Jones, is explained by its title. Jones, in particular, may be a good challenge for Paul's reading group.
