Read with me
I've been excited about reading Bill McKibben's "Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future" ever since I stumbled upon the title, and the glowing review, at Cerulean Sanctum last year.
Finally, being back in America and thanks to my parents' Christmas spirit, I have the book in my hands. I've barely cracked it, and already it's sending my head for a spin. The ideas are so intuitive that, if the premises are right, this book needs to be read by everyone, now.
If you're so inclined, pick it up at your local Borders or B&N, or follow the link above to Amazon, and read it with me. I'll be posting thoughts and ideas responding to and inspired by the book as I read.

James,
I pray the book does as much for you as it did for me. I think McKibben is right. So are most of the "Crunchy Cons" who also liked Rod Dreher's book. Restore local and regional economies. Get back to making our own food and growing it locally. Start putting money back into our neighbors' lives and our neighborhood. We cannot keep living the way we've done. We need to scale back our consumption and increase the quality of what we do consume, especially if the quality is found right in our backyards.
Glad to see you're on board. And thanks for the Cerulean Sanctum mention.
Blessings.
Thanks for the tip James, although you're doing nothing to help me with my Amazon addiction...
