In recent posts I wrote about the partnership between Pymble Uniting Church and Enngonia. But the committee is not stopping there. One of the other ideas that they have taken up is to put together sets of books to send to book groups in the bush. There are many options for book groups available but many of the people that I speak to find them too expensive. So Pymble’s idea is to collect 2nd hand books and use these to send out to groups in small rural communities at no cost to the people on the receiving end. Once the books have been read and discussed they will be returned to Pymble for the next group. They have collected many books already but are looking for more to finish off the sets. If you have any of the titles below and would be happy to donate them for this project you can drop them off to the Pymble Uniting Church, 1 Livingston Ave, Pymble 2073 or send them to Margaret Lowder at the same address. I think this project has great potential and I already have a number of places who are looking forward to starting in the new year, including Hillston and Fords Bridge.
The books they are looking for are:
Mao’s Last Dancer, Li Cunxin
The Red Tent, Anita Diamant
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows
The Hospital by the River, Catherine Hamlin
The Book Thief, Markus Zusak
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Mark Haddon
Nine Parts of Desire, Geraldine Brooks
Infidel, Aayan Hirsi Ali
Journey of a Thousand Miles, Lang Lang & David Ritz
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson
The Time Traveler’s Wife, Audrey Niffenegger
