Right, you've felt it, @ecoknowme. This post is either too broad or not inclusive enough. I realized that when I got to the part about the food forestry books. And indeed, there is another post in the making, about some more specialized ones on fungi, fermentation, earth-works, construction, and invisible structures. In fact, all my previous book reviews could also fit in quite comfortably.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
we should just do a skype call and record us talking about our favorite books! Some day, by wire or walk, we'll share a coffee, mate, mead or yarn someday, my friend.
sounds like a great way to spend time "together".
I just dunno how to do the recordy stuff, but we could even just take pictures and summize a brainstorm.. show an example of interconnection and collaboration thanks to Steemit. I probably never would have encountered you otherwise!
Oh, we could do a book-club so simply: decide what to read, give each member a chapter and a deadline, and each one of us writes a post about it. Then all other add their comments. Sure, it's not as fancy as recording a video-conference, but it can be done with minimal effort and flexible times.
First I would like to be able to make the books available though. There are files online or videos to review But, for example, My copy of Radical Mycology is this massive beast not everyone would be into, or could get easily in some parts of the world. Maybe we just encourage everyone to do reviews of What books they have and hope for some cross pollination of ideas? The video conference idea does sound like a nightmare... too many variables, I'm probably better off blithering into a 'podcast' then everyone can retort. Will do some research...
That's why it's important to pick a good book all of us would be into, and focus on one chapter at a time. But I feel that organically we're headed into that direction anyway. Book reviews are well liked post here (at least in my experience), and even book lists like this one. For example, @frugallady just posted one of hers, almost at the same time as I did mine.
That's really neat! Which book would You like to start with? Maybe I take a picture of my library and we can match what we both have... would be a nice exercise in restudying the core and sharing that with others. At your mark captain.
