Not sure what to read over the holiday weekend? Ho Not sure what to read over the holiday weekend? How about a board member book recommendation?

President Chris Estep suggests American author Raymond Carver's "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love," a collection of short stories. 

Of the collection, he says, "In re-reading these stories I loved so much at the end of the last century, I am immersed again in the journeys of pain, hope, disappointment, joy, loss, and ecstasy that come along with loving, being loved, and wanting to be loved. A flood of memories of pre-tech era connections with other humans rushes over you as you read each work. For first timers, these stories won't seem antiquated in any way as they are thoughtfully expressed representations of the deeply internalized ways we connect with one another. Ways we may never truly understand. But isn't it fun to try?"
