Books are the carriers of civilization...They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print. --Barbara W. Tuchman
Let's loan or trade books while absorbing the aroma and gastronomical pleasures of chocolate!
If your bookshelves (or boxes!) are overflowing, bring some here! Come meet and network with other Bizniks. Clean out some clutter, or simply share some knowledge from a favorite paper bound treasure.
I'm attempting to get a gauge on what subject matters/titles you would be interested in reading; If you like, you can post a book title, author or subject you would dig bringing home.
And if you can't make it, please share with us what you're reading!
I want to read:
I'm currently reading:
I think I want to be a Biznik librarian when I grow up.
Argh, can't make it! :P
I'm hosting the One World Report at KBCS that night... I'm so glad you did this event though, it'll be next month before Hannah and I make the other one happen. OK, I'm eating some chocolate right now, so I feel better. :))
Tipping Point and Creative Class are both titles I'd like to read, good choices Joy! (Biznik librarian indeed!)
I want to read: - Ha ha ha ha ha. Everything!
I'm currently reading: - Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson
Nemesis: the last days of the American Republic by Chalmers Johnson
The varieties of scientific experience: a personal view of the search for God by Carl Sagan
Drats! Teaching that night...but what a fun event idea, Joy!
Tell you what, Brian-
I will put your name on The Rise of the Creative Class, and bring it to the Chocolate event next month.
And, uh...I'll try to rub my cocoa stained fingerprints off of the pages.
I'm glad to hear that there is some interest in this event. I decided to post it at the very last minute, so it's no surprise that folks already have plans.
I'll host another book trade this fall, as the rain begins to make a greater appearance. And since the skies will begin to become grey, perhaps I can find a cafe with full spectrum lighting too. Anyone know of such a place?
This will be my first Biznik event, and I thought that the fact that it was about two of my favorite things, books and chocolate, was extemely prophetic.
PLUS - I have a copy of the Tipping Point that I'm done with, so it just seems like fate that I need to come give this to you!
I already have plans that nite, Joy. Would you please host another one on a different day? coz I do love reading AND chocolate. I'm reading '4 hour workweek' now. It's sooo cool!
looking forward to it! ALso my first biznik event, and what better way to do it than with chocolate and books! I might even have some caramels from work to bring to everyone who attends ... :)
I could bring along some cookbooks for loan, and perhaps bring a chocolate sweetie or two along with me.
I'm reading some interesting stuff that I'd love to chat about, if anyone else has read 'em:
My current book favorites are:
and
The fats that heal book is a little old for it's content, but timeless in it's own way.
