Oh my, it seems I have some blogging to do!  I’m very behind, and hereby make a New Year’s resolution to get this thing up to date ASAP.  (note to self:  next time maybe try going so far as to commit to a date)  In the meantime, the book we have chosen for January is an interesting way to start 2013.

Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson hold a big, no-holds-barred magnifying mirror up to our psyches and ask us to examine our propensities for self-deception, hypocrisy and rationalization. On the bright side, they also show us, if not how to overcome, then at least to admit to our failures. It should make for an interesting night. See you on January 31.

Books are not made to be believed, but to subjected to inquiry. When we consider a book, we musn’t ask ourselves what it says, but what it means…
