With the Karma Sutra Under My Arm; My madcap misadventures across India by Tricia Bernard

"What do you do when your boyfriend dumps you and you’re nursing a broken heart? For Trisha Bernard, the answer’s clear: escape to India, armed with a copy of the Kama Sutra. That way you’ll be ready should love (or lust) strike. 

But, as Bernard explains in her uproarious account of that madcap adventure, not everything goes quite as planned. At the last minute, she’s joined by her long-lost friend Sally—an eccentric shopaholic who travels with a jam-packed monster suitcase. Then, there’s India itself, where the two women end up almost marooned in the Thar Desert, practically camel-napped in Rajasthan, and attacked by an amorous monkey in Delhi. And that’s just the beginning.… 
With her ardor for architecture and history, and her Kama Sutra to inspire passion, Trisha Bernard leads us on a wacky, witty, and wonderful romp through one of the world’s most fascinating cultures."

March is Money Month!

There's a choice for the month of March and readers are encouraged and (we hope) inspired by the potential for understanding and empowerment that comes from reading about the world's current economic situation. People can bring their comments and questions as we share the book we chose to read and its perspective on our current history.  

"Deep Economy" by Bill McKibben  

"In this powerful and provocative manifesto, Bill McKibben offers the biggest challenge in a generation to the prevailing view of our economy. For the first time in human history, he observes, "more" is no longer synonymous with "better"—indeed, for many of us, they have become almost opposites. McKibben puts forward a new way to think about the things we buy, the food we eat, the energy we use, and the money that pays for it all. Our purchases, he says, need not be at odds with the things we truly value."  

"Enough: True Measures of Money, Business and Life" by John C. Bogle

Bernstein, author , A Splendid Exchange and The Four Pillars of Investing.
