We will add to, and possibly ignore some of the following, but do try to
look at these and read what you can, perhaps dipping into all and selecting
what most appeals. Bring your own bibliographies. It will be fun to combine
them at the conclusion.

There is a reading scheduled for Sunday, August10 at 10a.m. We have been
invited to present a summer service for the Unitarian Universalist Society
on the subject of our summer study and to read from poetry we will be
writing during the coming months.
