A book well worth reading for your Valentine - will you be mine?
These publications listed and linked repeatedly below in a brazen commercial attempt on my part are the current selection for the Oconee County Democratic Committee's book club and it sounds like a perfect tome for the season

Hello!
If you've never joined us for the book group sponsored by the Oconee
Democrats, this month would be a great place to start! We're reading .
. . and some people are happily rereading . . . the wonderful
A Sand County Almanac
by Aldo Leopold.
Pick up a copy of this and read it aloud to your Valentine! Read it if
you're depressed about what's going on in the world or in America. Read
it if you'd like to know more about nature to explain to your child or
grandchild. Read it if you're forgotten to look up at the sky to see
the stars or clouds. Give a copy to people who want to develop every
last parcel of land in Oconee and elsewhere. And then go take a walk to
look closely at the woods and fields yourself!
See the details below about time and place.
Work to protect the irreplaceable web of life around us!

The community-wide book group sponsored by the Oconee Democrats is
reading Aldo Leopold's classic "A Sand County Almanac" for its February
selection. The book is a collection of lovely essays about Leopold's
home in Wisconsin, where he hunted, fished, and walked the land to
closely observe the seasons. The work is considered alongside Rachel
Carson's "Silent Spring
" as one of the top-two 20th-century books about
the environment.
The group meets the last Wednesday of every month at 6 PM at Five Points
Deli on Epps Bridge Parkway. The February discussion takes place on
February 24th and is open to people from any county and with any
political affiliation -- or none.
The group's books are available at a 25% discount at Books Galore in
Watkinsville.
To see the year's slate of books, check out oconeedemocrats.
March book has been changed to one about Haiti (the inspiring
Mountains Beyond Mountains
by Tracy Kidder) to learn more about that resilient
nation so plagued by poverty and tragedy.
