Four of us gathered at Urban Eatery and enjoyed a nice dinner in relative quiet. Topics of discussion included the latest national political machinations, local candidates for office, the alleged sins of MPR, and other juicy subjects. E. B. White's work is almost universally admired, and much of this book was a joy to read. But this collection seemed choppy and disjointed to some of us, the individual snippets too short to sink one's teeth into.
Our next book is Erik Rivenes, Dirty Doc Ames, a true story of political scandal in early Minneapolis. Other titles considered were Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, and Kent Haruf, Plainsong. We'll meet on either July 30 or 31. Jim will suggest the next book.
