JAKE DE PAUL: RAVENOUS READERS BOOK CLUB >>>
If “Ravenous Readers†means famished folks flipping through forms to you, you better get yourself to King's Books. At King's Books, they will tell you that “Ravenous Readers†is actually a community book group focused on reading books about food and sustainability, sponsored by Grow Local Tacoma. Meeting the first Thursday of the month at King's, this hungry group will dig into issues such as growing food locally, the impact of commercial agriculture, and growing communities through selected reads such as the first book on the menu: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. In Kingsolver's first work of narrative nonfiction, she passionately records a year lived in complete harmony with the seasons and their products and the trials and tribulations that her family endured in order to consume only what they and their farming neighbors produced. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is this year's Tacoma Reads Together selection.
Future books will be Cod by Mark Kurlansky (April 2), Plenty by Alisa Smith & J.B. MacKinnon (May 7), and In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan (June 4).
So if you just had fantasies about finishing your Confessions of the Shopaholic while packing you face with pasta at Ravenous, then this isn’t the club for you. In fact, you should stay far, far away from this club. But for those of you who desire to make a difference in the way we live and eat, check out this book club.
[King's Books, Thursday, March 5, 7 p.m., no cover, 218 St. Helens Ave., Tacoma, 253.272.8801]
