Lindsay’s Comments (group member since Nov 29, 2019)

Lindsay’s comments from the Overbooked group.

If you can't make it to the Overbooked meeting tonight but still want to engage with the group, you can share your favorite "cults" with us here: Are you fascinated by Heaven's Gate documentaries? Loyal to a brand like Glossier or Chaco? Entrenched in Peloton culture? Let us know.

And if this topic piques your interest, check out the podcast "Sounds Like A Cult," by Amanda Montell & Isa Medina.

Check your local library. Print copies may be limited, but there are also ebook and eaudio formats available in GADD/Libby. Please be courteous users and use the Return Early option if you finish reading before the end of your lending period.

Also, this title is free on Audible with a 30-day trial :)

Feel free to respond to this discussion thread if you know of other reputable (and legal) ways to access new books!

Sharing this here for anyone who missed it. Show your friends! Thanks to Ashley for organizing this:

Mass shootings, including school shootings, have greatly affected the millennial generation, with incidents rising since 2000. Here are some fiction and non-fiction titles ripe for discussion:

- We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver (2003)
- The Topeka School by Ben Lerner (2019)
- Columbine by Dave Cullen (2009)
- Parkland by Dave Cullen (2019)

I'm going to share some themes we might could use now or in the future. I will list them here as a discussion post, but I'll also upload graphics for each of them (see photos):

Suburbia and the American Dream Themed Collection
- Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates (1961)
- American Pastoral by Philip Roth (1997)
- The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides (1993)

Comments or other theme suggestions welcome!
