Book Club Gals - Tonight 7:30pm Beth's place! Blood Diamond. Come even if you did not read it. I think there is alot we can discuss without having read the entire book. Things like:
The diamond indrusty is it a monopoly?
What is the true cost of the rocks that we wear so proudly?
Diamond indurstry impact on the goverments and social structures of Africa.
Violence that is tied to it.
Why do we value diamonds so much?
Wikipedia, Google, and the movie are good references to consider.
Next Month: I have down that we agreed that the book club we meet the 2nd Thusday in both Nov and Dec. Nov 10th and Dec 8th. Does that still work for everyone? Let me know if there is any major concerns with those dates.
Upcoming Books:
Nov - In Defense of Food
Dec - Material World
See you tonight.
