Ideas for 1st book to read as a book club

[Parallax Press]

Dear friends,

As October nears, do you have a Parallax title in mind that you want to read with our reading sangha members as our first pick?

New title or timeless classic, let's hear what you have to say!

Keep in mind whatever book we select will be read during the month of October, with discussion of the book online and offline throughout. The selected book will also be offered to our club members at a significant discount for the duration of the month so that as many people as possible can participate.

http://www.parallax.org/learn/book/ has a handy list of possible titles (though some titles, such as "The Art of Communication" aren't actually published by Parallax and so we can't offer discounts on those books).

Dear friends, I'm always interested in a discussion about the 5 MT, so may I please suggest The Mindfulness Survival Kit? My practice is very down-to-earth and Buddhist ethics as outlined there are my daily guide.

With a bow and a smile -

I reviewed _The Mindfulness Survival Kit_ for "The Mindfulness Bell", so I have copy. I'm happy with whatever book this Sangha chooses. Because I'm offering several retreats this month, it might be even better for me if we choose one I've already read. _()_

Wonderful! That is a quick and accessible read. Also the banner for this group is partly inspired by the cover



Of course, for those who already have the book it is a great idea to follow along since reading and discussing as a group is an entirely different reading experience :)
