Book Selected for August Reading

Hello there,


Well, I'm afraid to say that, not many book suggestions came forth this month. This means as previously mentioned, we will pick the book that came 2nd during our last book selection process.


This means, the book we will be reading for the next 3 weeks is going to be:

The audacity of Hope - Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream by Barack Obama.

The reading end date for this book is Sunday 31st August 2008.


Remember to check your local library or with friends to find out if they have a copy, before you set out to buy one.

Happy reading and I look forward to your comments and discussing the book.


The audacity of Hope - Book Introduction
Obama engages themes raised in his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, shares personal views on faith and values and offers a vision of the future that involves repairing a "political process that is broken" and restoring a government that has fallen out of touch with the people.

Book Suggestions for August Reading

Hello people,

The first book is now truly and out of the way. What were your thoughts about it? Interesting, boring, or plain silly? Please drop us a comment.

Now, it's time to put forward suggestions, in view of voting for the book to read this month.

kindly post a comment, putting forward your book suggestion or send me an email at:
poetessrem@yahoo.com.

If no book is suggested, we will select book that came in second last month, which was :
The audacity of Hope by Barack Obama.

However, if there is a draw in the suggested books put forward, we will read both books and extend the reading duration (usually 3 weeks).

so, please do send in your suggestions by Sunday 10August.

Looking forward to the next book. Hope it would be more adventurous and challenging than the last one. :-)

Have a great week
Remi Banjo
