5/21 fundraiser in Keene

[Pat K]

You have only 18 days left to read them all.

Does any body else remember those Evelyn Wood speed reading commercials.

[Lloyd Danforth]

Yes, but, I've never needed them.  My problem is keeping the pages from going up in flames as I speed thru them.

[Kat Kanning]

Whew, I'm trying!  I read one of John's books

[John]

Was it good?

[Kat Kanning]

Yes   It was Restoring the American Dream

[John]

BTW, I picked up a used copy of the book which (I believe) Ayn Rand called "the most evil book ever written." ?However, I don't think I'll be donating that one.

One never knows when we'll need a little somting to get a fire started . . . "We can no longer afford freedom" says b.f.skinner . . . so it sounds like something to put with my camping gear.

[Lloyd Danforth]

Kat, I have quite a few more books, I can bring up.? I wasn't sure if they had to be 'education' oriented or what.
I have a lot of old Sci Fi paperbacks and a ton of mysteries.? Probably some more stuff.
Are these OK?? What will you do with the ones you don't sell? (Dawn, has a BIG, dry basement! )

[John]

Yes ? It was Restoring the American Dream

Had you not read that before? ?Or just a re-read?
I donated/distributed/sold several dozen copies - - - back in the day.
That book was a turning point for me. But that might just tell that I am younger than Llyod (and maybe Pat?) - but older than many.

[Kat Kanning]

Never read it before, no.  It was good.  I agree with him 99.999%   I was thinking of writing to him and asking him to come to NH.

Lloyd:  other books are fine.  I'm not sure what I'll do with the ones that don't sell.  Maybe sell them to a used book store or return to donators, if that's what they want.  I'll probably buy the liberty oriented ones myself.

A few years ago, I got a case of them from the Advocates for a total of $45. Spread them all over SC. Good book.

As if, I would part with any of those

Yes, the cases. I forget how many were supposed to come in a case but remember getting at least one exta in at least one case . . .
When I first read that book I put it down somewhere in the middle of it (for about two weeks) because I knew that if this was true - and it clearly is - that my outlook and actions needed adjusting . . . obviously I picked it back up.  (How am I doing so far?  )

Some years later I gave a copy to guy at work for his wife to read . . . she was a speed-reader, and the next morning he had a mesage from her - that I should read Atlas Shrugged . . . I took Ayn Rand (whom I had not gotten around to reading) off the shelf  . . .

Anyway, interseting that a former (what was he) Secratary of Treasury would write the forward to Ringer's book . . .

There was a blurb about the fair in the Monadnock Shopper today

[Michael Fisher]

Thank you so much for organizing this!!! 

[Kat Kanning]

All the book donations have been wonderful!  Thanks everyone   But now I've got a (good) problem...I don't think they'll all fit in my car!  Is anyone planning on attending able to transport some books?  If not, I can make a couple trips.  We don't live too far from the Rec Center.
