Description
Everyone is invited to discuss "In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed" by Carl Honore with the VSDC Book Club. To participate just read at least half the book -- and RSVP at least two days before the meeting. "Tempted by a book of 'one-minute bedtime stories' to read to his son and thereby save time while fulfilling, albeit barely, the paternal role, Honore had a moment of truth. Speed, he realized, was a cultural addiction that, far from enhancing his life, was eroding his pleasure in it. He set about finding those swimming--slowly, of course, but strongly--against the tide. Prime among them is Slow Food..." -- Booklist At this meeting we also choose two upcoming books. We'll meet at a vegetarian restaurant. People who RSVP "yes" will get the location information. For more details contact Beth through meet up or use the form at www.vsdc.org/book.html.
