Immigrants

[close] This is your chance to read from a new perspective. Follow the well worn lines of walking in someone else's shoes. Maybe even go on an adventure with a protagonist who is nothing like you. The goal of the Big Picture Book Club is to learn about those more vulnerable in our society, and see how it might change your own perspective. This is not meant to be a political group, though 2016 taught us to look more closely at how politics are shaping our own perspective.

[close] As I writer, I am just curious about which scene was your favorite.

[close] "For many people, myself included, books are one of the few places where we can safely challenge our own thinking, learned behavior, and ideologies..." — Justin Baldoni This "group," launched in 2014, is actually a constantly-updated reading list. Click Bookshelf to see the long list of topics. Everyone is welcome. People who identify as white and are rather new to thinking about racial justice are invited to start with the "Beginners" shelf. This group focuses on U.S. nonfiction. We also recommend Literary Fiction by People of Color, a longstanding Goodreads group. Curated by Faith Reidenbach, a queer white woman. Feel free to message me.

[close] The official Goodreads book group for the Pantsuit Nation Connecticut chapter. All PNCT members are welcome to participate in book discussions! Books will be chosen by poll. Discussion pages will be posted where members can discuss issues relevant to the book and the PN group. The purpose of this book group is to expand our horizons and read books that we may not normally be drawn to in order to better understand the world around us. No one is obligated to participate. You may decide to read one book and then skip the next. The choice is yours! You may leave the group at any time, though we hope you decide to stay.
