Re: Please "Check In" here to the discussion of "Caste" - by Isabel Wilkerson
I had to order the book on Amazon since there are no stores with the book in my little area of Nova Scotia, Canada where I recently moved to from Quebec. The book won't get here until on or about Jan 7.

Re: WANTED: Non-fiction book suggestions for Nov. - Dec. discussion!
I was given this book a few months ago and put off getting into it as I worked through my little "to read " stack. On your recommendation Robert, I will be starting it today and hope it will be chosen for the next discussion.

Re: Flat Earthers

Re: Why isn't Joe Biden holding press conferences?
Biden is certainly prone to verbal gaffes and these are held up as evidence of dementia or whatever. If you’re worried about Biden’s cognitive decline, maybe just wait and for the three scheduled debates with Trump and see how he does?
