To read is to empower
To empower is to write
To write is to influence
To Influence is to change
To change is to live.
~ Jane Evershed ~
More than a Tea Party
I love to read. I also love to write. Who does not like to influence? I am all for living! To that end, I would like to kick-start a book review series starting this month. The idea behind is simple, we pick a book, read and then debate, discuss and talk about it here on the first Thursday of the following month.
To participate read the book, write about your thoughts on the book on your blog, send me an email at lakshmusings[at]gmail[dot]com with your post permalink, blog name and your name before the first Thursday of each month. The following Monday I will compile all the links into one post and post it out for those who want to read through debate or enjoy the differing perspectives.
This month I would like to pick Eat, Pray and Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Thanks Akay for the awesome idea!
Welcome to the first edition of Thoughtful Thursdays slated for May 1 2008.
Ideas, book suggestions, resource ideas, comments, critiques welcome!

@All: Can’t wait to get started. Will send out a reminder in the last week of April. Don’t think I have been as excited except when ready to leave on a school picnic

What a wonderful idea Laks! And A-kay
Like Suman said, my reading has taken a back seat all these months. Hopefully with this I will start paying attention to my first love

I like this idea Laksh. Generally, between work and other aspects of life, my reading takes a hit. The exercise should help me get focussed. Let’s see.

Wanted to scream great idea (but that make me a narcissist, won’t it?
). Thanks for agreeing to this idea and assimilating it in your own unique way. Count me in (less work, as I have already read the book 
).
