Which book are we doing first?

[Rachael]

Yay! First tread! I feel special. I'm all for Silent Spring as the first reading.

I love that idea!

I'm going to try to get it used on Bookmooch.com.

I'm going to go to halfprice books or go to the library this weekend to see if that have it.

My EXTREMELY retro copy of SS arrived yesterday, courtesy of BookMooch. It has the pleasant image of a bird skeleton on the cover, and a blurb on the back from none other than Richard M. Nixon! Looking forward to starting this one.

I got my copy from the library. I better get going on it because it's due back Saturday. :/

SS is amazing, especially when you consider the social situation of Rachel Carson and the history of the environmental movement and its role in furthering the position of women as well. It's a great first pick.
