With a focus on History, Politics, and Foundational Writings.
I was reading something less important, and more trendy today - Don Trump's latest book, Liberal Privilege. For a political book, issued in the year of an election (and, therefore, best understood as a piece of campaign literature), it's not bad. Easy to read, a little heavy on colloquialisms, but - funny in the right places, more than a little snide and snarky - actually a delightfully refreshing piece of lightweight lit.
And, that's intentional. The Jr. is not trying to self-publish an enduring philosophical tome. He's making a case for his Dad's re-election, and, as he is getting a heftier slice of the profits, also collecting compensation for his time spent writing it.
Mostly, though, I was not planning to include books such as that, but those books we'd always WANTED to read, when we had the time.
Which, many of us do, now.
I planned on using Zoom or similar technology to run the meetings - your choice whether to use computer, tablet, or phone to call it in.
So, I'm setting up a poll with some choices for the first book (all will be available either free, Project Gutenberg, Amazon Prime/library, or at a nominal cost).
