Hello,

My name is Cindy. I'm a middle aged mother of three and middle school librarian living in a very provincial community in northeast Ohio. We don't have many freethinkers in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

A series of links brought me here.

I heard about a new book on NPR that I'm very interested in reading. The title of the book is Dominion. The author is Matthew Scully. Scully writes about industrial farming.

Has anyone read this book?

Cindy

Hi Cindy, welcome to BookTalk. I have not read the book you are referring to although I'm sure it is interesting. Please join our discussion on Thursday nights if you can. It's a great way to meet other freethinkers (although I always end up paying for my thoughts ;) ) as well as have fun.

See you around,

Bradley

Hi Cindy:

Welcome to BookTalk. I'm fairly new myself but find the site intriguing. Middle School Librarian? I have a great respect for school librarians and the potential they have to influence children's reading. I volunteer in my local elementary school as a tutor, mostly reading and science, and often go with my students to the library to select material. I also write and have donated some of my novels for young people to the school library. Hope you have a good time here and find it as informative as I already have.

Paul

Glad to have you Cindy. I haven't read the book you spoke of, but if you happened to learn more about it, I'd be interested in hearing what you think. What I like about BookTalk is the opportunity to have an intelligent discussion on just about anything. Hope to see you around.
