I came across this wonderful article in the Huffington Post this morning. I highly recommend checking it out. It's an excerpt from Paul Loeb's new book "Soul of a Citizen". I'm buying it on Amazon right now. Activism, El Salvador, oppression, homelessness, immigration, and globalization; what more could you ever need in a good summer read?

I've heard great things about this book (my partner read it and it's on my reading list). Paul Loeb regularly contributes a column in the Huffington Post. Here are ways to stay connected with him: http://www.paulloeb.org/subscribe.html
ReplyDeleteI hope future purchases are made via an independent bookstore whenever possible (University bookstores are almost never independent, usually they're run by Barnes & Noble). Any independent can order any book you're looking for if it's not in stock - here's how to find one near you: http://www.indiebound.org/indie-bookstore-finder
You can find a list of reasons to shop independent (and local) on their homepage - here's one: More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.
Glad to see you've kept up the blog!
