DrawDown Book Club is Here!
First announcement of the first meeting of the DrawDown book club is instructional: how to get your hands on a copy of the DrawDown book. The Offline Report (TOR) ordered a copy from the library which required a one-month wait as all of San Francisco Public Library's 34 copies were checked out. TOR now will extend the checkout period to faithfully host this month's weekly meetings of the DrawDown book club.
Announcement two at this first meeting of the DrawDown book club should provide a relief to all members: you don't have to read the entire book. This is a reference book very densely packed. A reference book, as we learned in third grade or fifth I don't remember as I was reading some book that provided no educational value and was not paying attention, can be read by skipping through the table of contents (toc) or through the index in the back for selecting a small enough section that you'll actually complete reading.
Final announcement of the first meeting of this month's TOR-hosted DrawDown book club: if you get your hands on a copy, turn it over in your hands in a bookstore, check it out from the library and then turn it in before accruing a fine, and don't manage to read anything past the toc you qualify as a member of the exclusive proudly discriminating DrawDown book club.
See you next week!
(Extra Credit: for next week read the essay on page 52 entitled "Why Bother?" and bring one discussion comment or question.)
(Really Extra Credit: select at random another one- to five-page section and bring it to nominate for the following week's read or to argue in favor of disbanding the DrawDown book club. Floortime spent arguing in favor of disbanding the club will be limited to members who prove in the discussion portion they completed the extremely light assigned reading on page 52 entitled "Why Bother?")
(Be there - it could be the only DrawDown bookclub meeting in this lifetime!)
