Actions that endanger democracy make most Americans mad, so it’s appropriate that the people behind the Practicing Democracy Project chose John Steinbeck’s angriest novel, The Grapes of Wrath, to launch the We the People Book Club, an online discussion group open to anyone with a computer, a passion for democracy, and $24. Per the project announcement, “participants will receive a weekly email with insights on the week’s reading, questions to discuss in an online forum, recommended resources,” and a downloadable guide to the month’s book selection. The project, which has a spiritual as well as a political side, starts this week with The Grapes of Wrath and ends in August 2019 with Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God. If either side appeals to you, get out your credit card and sign up today.
