So if anyone is interested Casey and I went and bought our books for August. August is Non-fiction month. We had planned on reading two of the "Very Short Introduction" books, but there weren't any at the Borders we went to so we just got some other ones instead. They seem like very interesting reads and if anyone wants to join us, please do!
First of all, we bought three books. But there is only one that is the Official Salon Book of August. The other two can be read at your leisure, or not at all if you really don't want to. (Although I definitely plan on reading all three as soon as possible). So the official non-fiction book of August is: Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster by Dana Thomas.
The other two books are : Nonviolence: The History of a Dangerous Idea by Mark Kurlansky and This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession by Daniel J. Levitin
So hopefully someone is intrigued enough by one or all of these titles to feel compelled to join us. Happy reading in the month of August!

I am heartily intrigued by the music brain book. I'm quite interested in what they have to say. Also, i'm always game for a good fashion read. Let me know how those are and maybe I will actually contribute this month to the book choice discussions.
i'm starting with the fashion read, so you are more than welcome to borrow my music brain book for now if you want to
