Current Affairs

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] Looking for a good book to read that satisfies your progressive sensibilities? Want to get to know other lefty book lovers in our county? Care to discuss current issues, politics, history or where to get a good cappuccino in Centerville, South Weber or North Salt Lake? This is the virtual book club for you.

[close] This reading group starts on December 30, 2016. It is an attempt to wrestle with a selection of the best books of the past year as determined by The Economist magazine. They use eight categories: Politics and current affairs; Biography and memoir; Economics and business; History; Science and technology; Culture, society and travel; Fiction, and, finally, Poetry. We will read a selection of these books over the coming year - ideally determined by a monthly poll. The list is an opportunity to dig into a few selections one normally would not approach. 2016 List: http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21711295-best-books-2016-are-about-china-language-microbes-hereditary-power-inequality?fsrc=scn/fb/te/bl/ed/highfliers

[close] We read books by and about diverse Canadians. We've got a policy and current affairs bend, but love a good fiction.
