Cheshire County Democrats Book Club

Greetings,

Everyone must be busy with the holidays, or perhaps it's the weather, but we had our smallest ever Book Group meeting last week. Three of us met and discussed Presidential Courage by Michael Beschloss. We had an enjoyable discussion and were sorry that the rest of you weren't there to join in.

For January we are going to read Fighting for Air: The Battle to Control America's Media, by Eric Klinenberg. This is a very topical selection given the current actions of the Federal Communications Commission. We will meet on Tuesday, January 22, at 6:30 at the Keene Public Library. It will be after the Holidays and after the Primary, so we should all have more time by then. I hope that you can join us.

Looking ahead, we thought that for February, we'd read a book about the Supreme Court. The two we are considering are Supreme Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States Supreme Court, by Jan Crawford Greenberg, or The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court by Jeffrey Toobin. If you have any preference between the two books, let me know, or come to the January meeting where we will decide which one to read for February.

Wishing you all the Merriest of Holidays and a Happy New Year.

Linda
