Beachwood Book Club

If you are a reader, you enjoy sitting home and reading.  Modern busy-ness may leave us with little beyond the urge to hunker down and flip open the book or flick on the new Kindle reader.  So how about we find a way to talk right here?  We can exchange recommendations and offer insights.

I decided to pick up a copy of Moby Dick — or, rather, to download it free to my Kindle.  I saw it as a way to begin to avoid reading internet political propaganda, erstwhile known as “news.”  Melville got me on Page 1.  How little did I remember — or even know — that this was a book of the human mind as it struggles to reach the possible, the horrible, and the wonderful.  When I’m done I plan to get the 50s movie and hunker down for another version of this flight of courage.
