Book Club to read Ishmael
Posted by Joshua Jude, December 10th, 2007.
Book Club has selected Daniel Quinn’s philosophical novel Ishmael as its next book. Ishmael “presents an alternative view of human history and proposes a different method for human lifestyle change” (Wikipedia). The novel is basically a series of socratic dialogues between the main character and his teacher, a telepathic gorilla. The novel is challenging but well worth the effort. The book will be handed out during the next board meeting (Wednesday the 12th at 3:45pm) and the next Book Club Meeting - Monday at 5:00pm. Books are FREE (as always) to anyone who wishes to participate.
