Someone writes \”A very interesting program in Rochester, NY where the whole community read the same book: \”A Lesson Before Dying\” by Ernest Gaines.
Full Story \”
They say we tried it here in Buffalo last year, though I somehow must\’ve missed it. Great quote from the story:
\”encouraging everyone in a
community to read the same
book conjures up a social
phenomenon displaced long
ago by America\’s
TV-obsessed culture: a collective literary experience\”
Neat book, neat idea, anything to get people to turn off the TV for a second is a good idea.
