Eat Local Book Club

You are interested in reading about the local foods movement and you want to talk about it with others who are just as interested (or more!). A book club would be great, but you just don’t have the time for meetings and the obligations that come along with them.  (What time? What place? Is this meeting ever going to end?)

We understand the challenges you face and that is why we have started the “Eat Local Online Book Club.”

No time frame, no deadlines, no obligations: just the pleasures of reading good books, as suggested — and led — by Eat Local. The goal is to get the benefits of a book club...without feeling overwhelmed by rigid schedules.

Here’s how it works:

1. Every month, the Eat Local book club leader will present a popular book on local eating and living.
2. During the month, the leader will read along with you, posting her own insights about the book and guiding the discussion.
3. You can chime in with your own comments or just follow along…no obligation. Nice, isn’t it?
4. Every month a different book will be featured — but you can always go back and comment on older discussions or previous books.

October's Selection is "Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder" by Richard Louv. Read a review of this book.
