Tip of the Day 6/15/11

As we look at the summer joys of reading, today I want to encourage you to consider joining or starting a Book Club. It is fun to read and discuss books with others and get their insights. Most libraries have a Club. Check your local book stores. I belong to 3 clubs and have read many books I never would have picked up otherwise.  It is easy to start your own club since so many books include a Discussion Guide now.

The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris by David McCullough is a look at Americans that lived in Paris in the late 1800's - early 1900's including many famous artists.  I would like to share reading this book with as many of you that would be interested and to have you post your comments.  A great book to read in conjunction would be Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper.  Lydia is the model in many of Mary Cassatt's paintings and Mary is discussed in the David McCullough book. I hope some of you will join me.
