CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – “Have you read any good books lately?”  What in the World Is Going On? will provide an opportunity for readers to make both a list and a case for one of their favorites on Tuesday, June 6.

Why read? As Alberto Manguel, Argentine novelist, declared: “To find words for what we already know.” On a more practical level, comedian Groucho Marx once explained, “I find TV very educational. Every time I turn it on, I go into the other room and read a book.” Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin has a more philosophical answer to the question, why read. He writes, “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The person who never reads lives only one.”

Readers will have the opportunity to share, provided by What in the World Is Going On?, a local college/community group. Area readers are invited to join other book appreciators Tuesday, June 6 at 7 p.m. at the Vault, 213 North Central Ave in Valley City.

Participants are asked to bring their enthusiasm when they advertise concisely one of their favorite reads. A general discussion will follow. Plan now to make a case for a book you enjoyed. Fiction or non-fiction, what thrilled you and why, what in opening the pages or reading on screen made your days more enjoyable. For more information call What in the World Is Going On? at 845-7321.
