Book Club - Read Along, Bradbury

 



The Fire Balloons

I didn't much care for Father Peregrine's concerns about "new sins" among the Martians, but I was touched by his appeal to them.  He had to defend them, and convince the others they are worth their efforts.

Was Father Peregrine more inclined to trust them because of his nostalgic thoughts of Fourth of July?  He was certainly more emotional about them, "staring up at Beauty," whereas Father Stone was terrified.

He makes a great testimonial about representation.

What did you think?

We'll go ahead and pick another one to read in the comments and then we'll touch base again next week.

Any suggestions from this collection?  Something else?

Of course, the FDA already vetted the drug and numerous studies show the pill is safe and effective. "If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping. Perhaps some brandy to help keep us warm.... And I came across a yummy martini recipe: you'll need a pumpkin liquor (the particular one was a whiskey), vanilla vodka, and Irish cream.  Shake 'em up and then add a pinch of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
