The Breakfast (Book) Club

Book
The Bite:
Does reading an eco-book sound like a detention assignment? Not when you're joining the cool kids, dorks, jocks, and Ideal Bite editors in the first-ever, summer-long Biter Book Club. Three books, thousands of Biters, and zero fun-police principals looking over your shoulder.
The Benefits: 
  • Getting in with the clique. Read new, illuminating eco-books with thought-provoking discussions led by our editors each day.
  • Becoming a library of knowledge. Shocking, we know, but sometimes people wanna learn more about a topic than we can cover in 350 words or less.
  • Not hosting the brat pack. Or having to leave the house (read: no changing out of your bathrobe necessary) - you can participate right from your computer.
Personally Speaking: 
Most of us in the SF office have been swooning over author Van Jones's photo in the backflap of his book. But we swear it's not the (only) reason we picked it for the Club.
Wanna Try: 

Pick up one or all of the books (buying them used = the eco-friendliest way to go), start reading (we'll focus on a few new chapters each week), then chime in with the editors and see what other Club members have to say - daily, weekly, whenever you have time.
  • June - The Green Collar Economy by Van Jones ($20). A man after our own hearts, Obama's new green jobs czar believes yes, we can avert a total eco-tragedy if businesses, consumers, and the government all work together. Hosted by Seattle Editor Jen H. and Senior Editor Theresa. Note: If you plan on book clubbin' in June, be sure to read the foreword, intro, and first chapter (40 pages), 'cuz Jen's gonna post the first discussion on June 8.
  • July - In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan ($18). The author of The Omnivore's Dilemma takes on health advisors, the food industry, and scientists in his latest book, which might just make you change your diet. Hosted by Mama Bite Editor Alison and Senior Editor Mike.
  • August - Confessions of an Eco-Sinner by Fred Pearce ($15). A curious journalist takes a peek behind globalization's curtain and learns about the costs of consumption, firsthand, from the people who are most affected by it. Hosted by SF Editor Hanah and Daily Tip Editor Toshio.

Cocktail Fact

Rejected titles for The Breakfast Club included The Lunch Bunch and Library Revolution.

Bang For The Bite

This is new for us, but good books and good company should make for a page-turner of a summer.
