January Book Club Pick (2025)
We have chosen a book recommended by Staci for our next read:
The Movement: How Women’s Liberation Transformed America 1963 -- 1973 by Clara Bingham. It is only available in hard cover for $32, or Kindle for less.
We decided to hold our next book club meeting on Wednesday, January 8, at 6PM at Patti Schrichfield’s home.
Link to buy on Amazon:
Anyone interested please contact Pat Kriz at patkriz@earthlink.net.
It is a busy time of year and a big book to read, so we did not want to press too hard with the election front and center and the holidays just around the corner! Let me know if you have any questions............

September's Book Club Pick (2024)
Our next Book Club is Wednesday, September 25th - 6-8pm
THERE IS A SCHEME AFOOT.
“If that sounds dramatic, it should. It involves a decades long effort by a handful of corporate oligarchs to subvert American democracy by capturing the Supreme Court and making it their Court, not our Court. It’s happening right under our noses, and it puts at risk one of our most cherished American principles: equal justice under law.” This is the first paragraph in the Introduction to our chosen book for our next meeting: “The Scheme: How the Right Wing Used Dark Money to Capture the Supreme Court” by Sheldon Whitehouse and Jennifer Mueller.
Jane Mayer, author of the national best seller Dark Money says: “There’s no senator (Sheldon Whitehouse, D – Rhode Island) I can think of who’s done more sleuthing to figure out the money trail in American politics, particularly as it affects the courts.”
This is a fascinating book of history and mystery, and it shakes the money tree where all the billionaires hide. I hope you will read it. I hope you will come to our next book club meeting and talk about what you learned and what can be done to change this dreadful situation, which has been years in the making thanks to Leonard Leo and the Heritage Foundation and his billionaire “friends”.
Please order the newer version with the 2023 Preface by Sheldon Whitehouse, available at Barnes and Noble for $19 in soft cover. It is probably available online too.
If anyone wants to host our meeting on Sept. 25, that would be so nice. Just let me know.

"Call Me American: A Memoir" by Abdi Mor Nor Iftin
Patti Schrichfield has offered to host our group at 6PM on Wed., July 24th, at her home in Cameron Park just off Meder Road.
Please RSVP to Pat by July 21st if you plan to attend, and the address will be sent to you.
If you attend, please bring a light snack to share. Finger food is best. We will provide beverages, and try to carpool if you can manage. We do not plan to provide Zoom for the meeting as it takes a lot more effort to make this available and depends on attendance.
Hope to see you and please bring ideas for our next book which we will discuss on Wed., Sept. 25th
