Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 or early 2025?

Hi Gabrielle, Byron, Cindy, Jim, Valerie, Ed, Gantt, Adam and Deb, JoAnne, Reedies, other friends, all, 

How are you? How are your summer plans taking shape? Greetings from an asylum place of western Pennsylvania, and seeking to move forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center with WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute into a newly safe 670A Ridgecrest Road Canyon 94516 in 2024 potentially.

I'm writing to propose a possible new Bay Area Reedie + book group beginning in late December 2024 or early 2025 ... as I prepare to move forward into the SF Bay Area again (alive ... and in developing MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch further from there ...)

My mother said her book group works in the following way ... 

Each person in the group can propose a book only if they've read it ... 

Meet monthly ... 2nd or 3rd Saturdays or 2 Tuesday evenings (depending on who goes away for the weekend regularly)? Potluck beforehand? 


Meet in Canyon 94516 for the first book possibly on Saturday, possibly on 12/14/24, or 1/11/15 ? 

Who might like to propose the first and second books, potentially? 

Possibly for the 3rd get together - on Sat March 8, 2025? - I'd like to propose reading my first book "Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin" (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Harbin%20ethnography) ... and potentially regarding my 2nd Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic book project I'm working on from ~ https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~

I'd love to grow community as well in all of this ... (something I thought some about while at Reed as well). (My mother said her book group has been meeting for decades, and might have emerged a bit out of the 1st Unitarian Universalist Church of Pgh, which she's been a member of for a long time ) ... Am also possibly interested in inviting D.... L... MD to this with time...  

What do you think? 

Warm regards, Happy Reeding, more later, 
Scott

Greetings from western Pennsylvania! As a further possible new Bay Area Reedie + book group follow up, and again - 

How are you? How are your summer plans taking shape? Greetings from an asylum place of western Pennsylvania, and seeking to move forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center with WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute into a newly safe open 670 Ridgecrest Road Canyon 94516 in 2024 potentially.

My mother said her book group works in the following way ...

Each person in the group can propose a book only if they've read it ... Perhaps the individuals who suggest a book to read for any given month can also facilitate a book group 'riffing conversation' about the book ...  

Meet monthly ... 2nd or 3rd Saturdays or 2 Tuesday evenings (depending on who goes away for the weekend regularly)? Potluck beforehand?


A Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 or early 2025? 

Your book ideas or suggestions, and a month you might suggest reading it in  ? ...

Two books that I enjoyed immensely and which I might suggest for a year or two hence are:

 Nobel Laureate's Kazuo Ishiguro's 
"Klara and the Sun" (2021) 

and the comic novel 

Kiran Desai's 
"Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard" (1998)
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hullabaloo_in_the_Guava_Orchard )

Who here might be watching the first US presidential debate this evening, accessible online freely here -

Could friend & Reedie T.L. (with whom I just stayed in DC on 4/10/24 - and we went to a Fettes College (my high school between my junior and senior years at Shady Side Academy in Pgh PA) Edinburgh Scotland event together in DC - and there's a picture here: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/04/nilgiri-tahr.html) be heading to become the next US secretary or state possibly? Might we possibly read a biography of Thomas Jefferson, first US secretary of state, sometime in 2025 or 2026 ... re ideas if Tym were to become installed possibly after the January 2025 presidential inauguration? What Jefferson biography might be great - if someone has read it?


AND again - 

Possibly for the 3rd get together - on Sat March 8, 2025? - I'd like to propose reading my first book "Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin" (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Harbin%20ethnography) ... and potentially regarding my 2nd Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic book project I'm working on from ~ https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~

What do you think? 

Who would like to suggest what book to read - and for what month in 2025 or even 2026 - in a proposed SF Bay Area Reedie + book group?

AFTER ONE of us has read this to recommend it ... and possibly regarding ideas for Reedie T.L., if he might become the next US secretary of state in 2025, with Thomas Jefferson as the first US secretary of state?

Dear Bay Area Reedies, Gabrielle, Byron & Cindy, Jim, Ed & Valerie, Gantt, Jo Anne, Konrad, Sally (in New Mexico), (PLEASE FORWARD TO Adam and Deb, Charlie and Laurie and others), Readers, other friends, all,

As a further followup on this "Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 or early 2025?," and brainstorming, what extreme longevity and aging reversal genetic drug therapy books you might have read, and would recommend? One interesting thing about Kazuo Ishiguro's book "Klara and the Sun" (2021) is that it's also about genetic engineering of people / gene drug therapies too by extension, in addition to humanoid robotics as Artificial Friends even - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klara_and_the_Sun - and which are solar-powered, as dystopian science fiction literature. 

Brainstorming further, what if we all could still be meeting monthly in this Bay Area Reedie Book Group 2 centuries or even 2 millennia from now with extreme longevity genetic drug therapies potentially emerging, and early ones possibly FDA approved by 2030 (per Harvard and MIT professor of genetics' George Church in the Harvard Medical School)?

2
Would you Gantt, or someone, recommend this science fiction too - 

Neuromancer (1984)

(somehow 'telepathically' - the idea came to me that you might recommend this, Gantt) - and even for an opening book for the Bay Area Reedie Book Group?

2 a
Here's the author - 
" William Gibson: The Decline of "Cyberspace" " (2011)

Cathedral Forest Action Group, Oregon 1980s - seeking to conserve Old Growth Forest west of the Cascades non-violently 


I recall knowing Brian Heath, and Mary Beth Nearing (below) the best of these friends, and regarding the Quaker Meeting in Portland Oregon and nonviolent direct action to save Oregon's last remaining Old Growth forests in the mid 1980s

"Pairbondage has a twofold phyletic origin in mammals. One is mutual attachment between a nursing mother and her feeding baby, without which the young fail to survive. The other is mutual attraction between males and females, and their accommodation to one another in mating, without which a diecious species fails to reproduce itself."

I find myself saying I love you, Ma, a fair amount, and in seeking to think through why and how consciously, or to explicate it ... I think it's pairbond-ing or regarding mother-child mutual attachment, and see John Money PhD in these regards:

"Pairbondage has a twofold phyletic origin in mammals. One is mutual attachment between a nursing mother and her feeding baby, without which the young fail to survive.
