“Looking for an original novel that will make you laugh out loud? How about a cheap way to transport yourself to Tuscany? Then Tartufo by Kira Jane Buxton is your next book.

Through her artful use of words, you can taste the pasta, smell the truffles, hear the roar of a Lamborghini, and see the mid-evil architecture of a hill side Tuscan castle.” - Penny

Oh my. What a book. What an important book. I read this within the experience of our current world, news full of men in power making brutal and terrifying decisions on the backs of poor, under-represented, disempowered populations the world over. This is nothing new, but it feels so loud right now, shouted and angry voices attempting to reclaim their “status” as MEN who don’t have to share or care. Who won’t be forced to change their world domination plans, or use new words or references, or care for people who have less in their quest to take more. In Sky Full of Elephants we wake to a world where all of the white people have walked themselves into the nearest body of water and drowned. Gone. And what happens then. Give yourself a little reading assignment and a little time for thought this month. Grab a copy. - Gretchen

March 15 at 2:30pm with Spenser. “Yevgeny Zamyatin's We is a powerfully inventive vision that has influenced writers from George Orwell to Ayn Rand. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful 'Benefactor', the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativity - until D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Set in the twenty-sixth century AD, We is the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.”

Discuss with Spenser March 22 at 2:30pm. “In The End of Reality¸ Jonathan Taplin provides perceptive insight into the personal backgrounds and cultural power of these billionaires—Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreesen (“The Four”) —and shows how their tech monopolies have brought middle-class wage stagnation, the hollowing out of many American towns, a radical increase in income inequality, and unbounded public acrimony. Meanwhile, the enormous amount of taxpayer money to be funneled into the dystopian ventures of “The Four,” the benefits of which will accrue to billionaires, exacerbate these disturbing trends.”
