    Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain

    Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain

    Join us in this book club chat as we discuss Susan Cain's work of non-fiction Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. This book feels very validating for those of us who are introverts, and helpful for extroverts who want to better understand their children and partners and the very different ways in which they are energized. We also talk about the highly sensitive person and the correlation between introversion and the HSP.

    A Passage To India by E.M. Forster, with guest Mike Bunnell

    A Passage To India by E.M. Forster, with guest Mike Bunnell

    Join us as we discuss a classic that still has modern relevance. Air Force attorney, Mike Bunnell will provide his unique perspective as he specializes in criminal cases involving sexual assault. He discusses the difficulty found in proving or disproving consent (particularly when alcohol is involved) and compares it to the accusation and subsequent trial that take place in the book. In E.M. Forster's novel A Passage to India, Forster seems to be asking if people of different cultural, religious, and racial backgrounds can co-exist, particularly in situations of high tension and biases. It leads to a good discussion regarding what it means to really see a person, or really see a country.

    Bel Canto By Ann Patchett with bonus aria performed by Mary Ann Claros

    Bel Canto By Ann Patchett with bonus aria performed by Mary Ann Claros

    On the plots surface, Bel Canto details a hostage situation that takes place at an embassy in Peru. But when one delves deeper, it is a meditation on the healing and uniting power of art, specifically that of opera to bring people of completely different cultures and languages together to appreciate music at its finest. This is Ann Patchett's 4th novel and was awarded the Orange prize for fiction and the PEN/Faulkner award. Later the book was made into a film that uses the masterful vocal stylings of soprano Renee Fleming. Stay tuned to the end of this book club chat to hear fellow book-clubber, Mary Ann Claros sing the aria from Rusalka called "Song to the Moon," which is the song that launches the book Bel Canto. Hearing it live is magical!

    Zion Earth Zen Sky: A Memoir, with author Dr. Charles Inouye

    Zion Earth Zen Sky: A Memoir, with author Dr. Charles Inouye

    Join us for this book club chat as we interview author Dr. Charles Inouye about his beautiful memoir, Zion Earth Zen Sky. He details the experiences from his life as a child growing up in rural Sigurd, Utah. As Japanese-Americans, his family eventually settled there after his parents met at an internment camp following Pearl Harbor. His religious backgrounds include a family culture of Buddhism, and then a conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints. Though he began working along side his dad as a farmer, Dr. Inouye eventually left the farm to serve as a missionary in Japan and discovered the many beauties of the Japanese traditions. He went on to pursue his education, completing a doctorate at Harvard. He now teaches at Tufts University in Boston. His memoir is replete with Haiku and stories that warm your heart to their teller. His ideas on faith are simple and profound: serving others is similar to the Buddhist tradition of maintaining a zen garden. The constant raking is what refines us, and allows us the connections that come from loving others, and being loved.

    The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot with guest John Bennion

    The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot with guest John Bennion

    George Eliot, who's actual name is Mary Ann Evans, was one of the best Victorian authors to have emerged from England. Join us in this book club chat with author John Bennion, and former BYU professor of the British novel. While this novel has slow beginnings, the pace quickens and provides such a complicated love triangle, one is left wondering how things will possibly conclude. As with many victorian novels, the answer to that question is “tragically”. We try to rewrite the ending and come to the conclusion that though tragic, Eliot knew exactly what she was doing. To have an alternate ending would have required the heroine, Maggie Tulliver, to have been untrue to herself. This book is in part autobiographical, as it has echoes of Eliot's upbringing, and her later estrangement from her brother.

    Bonus Episode: A selection of poems by Mary Oliver with guest Jessie Scoville

    Bonus Episode: A selection of poems by Mary Oliver with guest Jessie Scoville

    If you want a glimpse into beautiful nature poetry, look no further than the poems of Mary Oliver. She was considered to be one of America's finest poets, winning the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Her poems, and the reading of them, connect you more closely to the natural world and simultaneously the spiritual world. Join us as we read some of our favorite poems with our friend Jessie Scoville, who for a time shared Mary Oliver's poetry online in an effort to spread hope in an time when it was desperately needed. We read many of her poems aloud, discovering anew the awakening to life that such beautiful poetry can invoke. Her poems read like prayers, though she will be the first to say that she doesn't know what it means to pray. But she was a master at sitting idly and observing the outdoors with a feeling of gratitude.
