Book Power

TUESDAY, JUNE 27, 2006
"We read books to find out who we are.  What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become."  -- Ursula K. LeGuin

My guest tonight on The Empower Hour was Kathy L. Patrick, owner of Beauty and the Book, the country's only Hair Salon/Book Store and founder of The Pulpwood Queens Book Clubs, the largest "meeting and discussing" book clubs in the world -- "where tiaras are mandatory and reading good books is the rule!"

Much of our interview was about the power of books and reading --- and finding the above quote just a few minutes before the show was about to begin -- definitely seems like another synchronistic "confirmation" to me.

If you'd like to learn more about this fascinating  woman, her mission of promoting literacy and stories of the "tiara-wearing" Pulpwood Queens, the archive for tonight's show will be posted within the next week.

Be sure to check out last week's interview with Terence Yallop of Real Music (see right sidebar) as well as my interview from the previous week. The complete list of archived shows can now be found at the Archive section of The EmpowerHour website.
