Laura’s comments from the CFI West Book Club group.

Hi Skeptics,

CFI will be moving in early November. We do not know when the new location will be ready for us to meet up for book club. We've usually been meeting on third Wednesday of each month. That may change. If there are any particular days that consistently won't work for anyone, please let us know.

Basically, stay tuned. When we have a date set, it will be posted here, on meetup.com and the Facebook page.

LARB talk with LA Times reporter Jill leovy about her best-selling book on a murder case in South Los Angeles, Ghettocide. The conversation goes in-depth into some of the hottest political issues of 2016: race, policing, and our society's unequal distribution of resources.

Our April read.

This is the perfect show to watch after reading this book. It debuted on Netflix this month.

If you have any questions about the book, you can ask fellow Goodreads member Anne Marie O'Connor here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

If you're unable to find a copy of the book, many of the essays are available online without her additional postscript/updates.
