I think the selection of books need to be narrowed and only titles that could make some impact internally should count. Perhaps instilling some empathy in a white supremacist by having them read To Kill A Mockingbird? You get the idea.

At least they are admitting the power of a good book. Even if 10 per cent of those who participate in this initiative benefit from it, it will still be a success.<br />Thank you for dropping by, <b>Shilpa</b>.Cynthia Rodrigues Manchekarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582482381203565646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697665148090517163.post-54852843706909821982013-10-01T14:22:05.670+05:302013-10-01T14:22:05.670+05:30I read about that in the newspaper some days ago, ...I read about that in the newspaper some days ago, initially I thought it is a nice initiative but there's a chance to take advantage of this thing too.
