Religion for Atheists

This book was a profound revelation for me. So many great ideas of things our secular society is deeply lacking. It covers so much, and lays out a great starting point for how to envision a better way of living that is more caring and humane, and ways of how to put that into effect. GREAT STUFF!

The Disposessed

This book describes an alternative world that runs as a cooperative anarchist society. There's a lot of really interesting ideas about society and people coming together. From prisons, to work, to sleeping arrangements, to love and relationships,  to government at large. Much of whats there feels like stuff to explore in the setup of our new township. Let the book club begin.

Idea for Common Book Area aka Library

Maybe if our village wants to put all of our books in one spot and have a sharing library, we could build a spot (or a library tree house!) around some trees and use the trees for shelving!  Fun and natural.
