Book of the Month
Posted by Terrie Soberg under: Book of the Month .
We had chosen to read The 5,000 Year Leap by Cleon Skousen for the month of April. I have heard from a few people who have had a hard time getting the book or had circumstances that made it hard for them to read or join the discussion this month. Because this is such a crucial book in helping us understand the Constitution, we have decided to make this our book for May to give all who are interested, time to finish and join in our discussion. This is the only time we will do this hopefully so everyone get reading.
Our book for the month of June will be 1984 by George Orwell. Happy reading!

That is a big relief. I’m not even half done with The 5,000 Year Leap. I’m marking the crap out of that book. It is so valuable to anyone who wants to understand the constitution and where we are as a nation. Now I can enjoy it without feeling rushed. I already read 1984 but that’s a book I will love to read again. It’s one of my favorites.

I never did get on the ball and order the book. I’ll try and get this done now that we have a reprieve.

Was 1984 Orwell’s prediction of what future would be like? Was it where the phrase, “Big Brother” comes from? It has been sooo long since I have read it! Yeah, good book, if I recall it correctly. Most libraries should already have this book!

Yup, that’s the big brother book. I read it a few years ago but I was young. I should mean more this time around, especially with all I have learned about politics. I think you are right, it should be easy for everyone to get a copy from their library.

1984 is a book every American should read. I have read it four times and made my kids read it. They saw things differently especially with how history is getting rewritten. Gotta get on board with this one guys. I don’t know if I’ll join on the 5,000 year leap but I’m counting on you guys to spoon feed me the important stuff. I read slow so I’ll pick and choose my months.
