Greetings.
It is with great pleasure I introduce you to the Morceau de Vie Non Fiction Book Club. The title means "Piece of Life" and the idea is this:
In the course of one year, we will read 12 carefully chosen non-fiction books that cover many different topics. By the end of 12 months, you, my friend, (and moi) will have learned about 12 diverse subjects, and more than that, we will partake in activities related to each topic.
If the first book is on the subject of WINE (I'm thinking of choosing that, just so you know) we can get together and have a blind wine tasting party and discuss what we got out of the book.
If we read a gardening book in summer, the idea is to actually get out in the dirt and make something grow, or build a trellis or a rock garden - get the idea?
You can take part virtually too - I plan to have monthly get-togethers with the members local to me, but if you live in Needles or India, you can just read the books along with us, or you can start a small group in your area and join in the fun. Part of the fun is each month as we all begin the new book, we can post things here as we go.
Sounds good? Great! Let's get to work picking our our year-full of inspiring and interesting books! Please post your ideas of books that might fall into these categories - or suggest new categories:
September - Wine/Food
October - Biography/Autobiography
November - How-To
December - Arts & Crafts
January - Science/Nature
February - Foreign Cooking/Living
March - American History
April - Business/Finance
