Moving Train Bookclub

Books recommended for upcoming meetings are usually given here. Vote for the one you want to read next.  

This is a progressive bookclub focusing on non-fiction books with a progressive slant introduced by the Newport DFA chapter to encourage public awareness and discussion of contemporary progressive issues. If you want to be informed about the doing of the MTBC, you can subscribe to this work group, and/or you can subscribe to the MTBC email list to receive news and announcements.

 

The club takes its name from Howard Zinn's autobiography which in turn alludes to the aphorism that life is like a moving train; nobody can be neutral.

 

If there are any significant changes in venue or schedule they will be posted here. Heed the Third Chimp here for updates. Accept no substitutes.
