chose after her original pick was stolen.

Kentuckiana Mensa Holiday Party

There was a nice turnout for the annual holiday party,

despite the icky weather.  Many nice gifts were exchanged,

and many more delicious calories were consumed!

Thanks to Cheri Eskridge for contributing these great photos.

Tim and Jane watch Jim open his gift, also a

second choice after his first gift was stolen.

Harvard Classics Book Club

Sean Kotran is interested in starting a Harvard Classics Book Club.  This began as an informal discussion on the yahoo group and is taking shape.

This is based on a concept brought to life by former Harvard President Charles W Eliot.  He believed that the elements of a liberal arts education could

be obtained with 15 minutes of reading a day from a collection of books which would fit on a 5 foot shelf.  The sets of books can be picked up used

on e-bay and through the Amazon.com used re-seller network.  Because the works are all public domain, there are also free downloads available for e-book readers.

A cursory search for e-book readers puts them in $100 - $400 range depending on the features and screen size you are interested in.

It needs to be noted that there are some volumes which will require the Harvard Classics version be purchased as there are instances where a specific collection

of essays has been selected, it would likely be best to purchase the entire set if possible for ease of following along with the group.

The Louisville Free Public Library does not appear to have a complete set available.  Sean can be contacted via the following methods.
