I took on Moby Dick as my summer reading project five or six years ago, and I still haven't made it past page 70. It's also worth mentioning that many classics are available for free through the Gutenberg Project and in the Kindle Free Store too. I downloaded War and Peace a while back for free. I couldn't justify spending $30 on a book that I'm not sure that I'll like. Also, the LPL has a book club program where it will gather the copies of a requested book for a group, right?
brewmaster- It may not be intentional, but that is definitely the crowd that they seem to cater to. Honestly, I have wanted to do this for years, but my boss would laugh me out of the office if I told him I was going to be gone one day a week from August until November. I don't see why they can't establish an alternate program during the evenings or on the weekends even if they were shorter sessions that took several months extra to complete. Heck, even an online course. If I can get my master's from a reputable university that way, it seems silly that the Douglas County Extension program can't. It just feels like they don't want young people or working people to be involved. Very disappointing.
Cooking with something new: Sumac
Hi Sara,
We've bought sumac at the Mediterranean Market at 15th and Kasold in case you're ever looking for an even more local source. :)
