About Our Book Club. Thursday, June 16, 2011. Poverty: Structural Constraint or Moral Failing? In our discussion of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

Dead Authors Book Club: February 2012

http://deadauthorbooks.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

About Our Book Club. Monday, February 13, 2012. More Book Suggestions for Mid-Twentieth Century Gender Relations. I do think it would be nice to focus on gender roles during the mid-twentieth century so the discussion doesn't get too broad. The Pumpkin Eater by Penelope Mortimor - this book was the inspiration for the theme so it would be nice if a few people read it. The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood 1967 [the seminal work (ha, seminal! That put Atwood on the map]. Sunday, February 12, 2012. We are yo...

Dead Authors Book Club: Poverty: Structural Constraint or Moral Failing?

http://deadauthorbooks.blogspot.com/2011/06/poverty-structural-constraint-or-moral.html

About Our Book Club. Thursday, June 16, 2011. Poverty: Structural Constraint or Moral Failing? In our discussion of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Francie's story has a happy ending, though it stands in sharp relief to the stories of countless others that Francie encounters in her Brooklyn: those who, despite their best efforts, cannot rise above the grip of poverty. From here our discussion traveled down several avenues exploring the relationship between the novel and depictions of poverty. We discussed ...

Dead Authors Book Club: November 2011

http://deadauthorbooks.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

About Our Book Club. Monday, November 14, 2011. Mediums of Exchange in Sci Fi. In Isaac Asimov's Foundation. This also got me thinking about other sci fi series and their mediums of exchange. The twelve colonies in Battlestar Gallactica used cubits even after the apocolypse of their home planet. I found it interesting that they still made bets and would buy things despite the meager circumstances and since it was unlikely the fiat currency of cubits was backed by anything since the colonies were dest...

Dead Authors Book Club: About Our Book Club

http://deadauthorbooks.blogspot.com/p/about-our-book-club.html

About Our Book Club. About Our Book Club. Remember that book you read in high school that you didn't really appreciate? It occasionally creeps up in conversation and you can honestly say you read it, but you honestly can't remember that much about it? It's always interesting to see what everyone takes from the book and how those ideas manifest into presentations. We've seen book themed rap songs, art projects, poems, a blow up doll in a body cast, extensive power points on World War 2, Lego architecture ...

Egomania Strike: 09/10

http://egomaniastrikedc.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Here’s What’s Cookin’: Pizza on the Grill. This summer I finally got two things I’ve been wanting: one-on-one cooking instruction from Dan Vaillancourt. And a really sweet grill. Last weekend I used the awesome grill that my landlords left at my new townhouse to make grilled pizza, using Dan’s pizza dough recipe. Pizza unseasonably cool temperatures the start of a three-day weekend good company dispensing gentle shaming on the lovelorn = what a wonderful evening. 1 cup very warm tap water. 9 At this poin...

Egomania Strike: OK, We'll talk about it, too

http://egomaniastrikedc.blogspot.com/2010/07/i-dabble-little-bit-in-sports.html

OK, We'll talk about it, too. I dabble a little bit in the sports blogosphere, and since I've plainly made my Cleveland and NBA biases plainly known on this site, it should come as no surprise to [whatever] readers [we may have left] that I'm a Cleveland Cavs fan, and I've got some opinions on the LeBron James "decision.". After the playoffs came crashing down around the team, I wrote a post. It has become increasingly apparent. That his decision was premeditated to the point where the last few seasons o...
