June 24: ThinkTank Book Share

On Wednesday, June 24th, we’ll be having a book sharing conversation. This will have three parts, and you can choose to participate (or not) in any or all of the three:

.

1. Share: Bring two books you’ve really liked — they don’t have to be your favorite or most influential — and spend about five minutes summarizing the books and telling us why we should read them.

2. Select: After we hear about why we should read each of these great books, we’ll corporately choose one book to read and discuss at our July 22nd meeting.

3. Swap: If these two books (or other books you like but don’t bring to talk about) are ones with which you are willing to part, put them into our swap pot — bring a book, take a book. We’ll all leave with something new to read!
