December BookBite & Potluck

Hello folks,
This month's read is "The Brain That Changes Itself" by Norman Droidge. I've already placed all the requests I can for this title and when I receive them, I display them immediately on the shelf beneath the bookbite sign.

For those interested in participating in the potluck, please click here.

Tonight's Book Bites!

Hi All!

Nancy is out of town and is not going to be there tonight. She asked me to kind of fill in and help moderate, but a situation has come up at work that I have to meet with a student tonight and can't make it. I want to let everyone know so you aren't scratching your heads wondering what's happening.

Have a great discussion and I hope to see you all next month.

Tom
