One of the things that we do over here is that we're part of a book club. We meet with about 12-15 people once a month to discuss a book that we've all read together. We love these meetings and so you may have heard us talk about the great conversations that we have there. This fall, we're focusing on books that deal with Dubai and/or Arabia. Since this is the topic for the fall, and since many of you are reading this blog to learn about life over here, we thought that we would invite you to pick up the books too. Feel free to comment on our posts about Book Club, to drop us a line on Facebook about the book, to send an e-mail, or give us a call (Jeff's old mobile number is now a Vonage number that rings over here - just call before noon Central time if you decide to call - that way it will still be a decent hour over here).
Our first book will be City of Gold: Dubai and the Dream of Capitalism by Jim Krane. It's about Dubai's transformation from a fishing village to a global metropolis in the past 30 years. Here's a link to the book on Amazon. If you want to read it with us, pick it up and start reading. We'll be meeting with our group here to talk about it on Sunday night, October 10. Enjoy.
