Not A Book Club

I'm not a member of a book club. I prefer reading non fiction. I don't want to chit chat about how none of us had time to read the book. I would like to have discussions with people who have read that interesting article in the NYTimes or the New Yorker. I'm reading "Bottlemania" How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It. I plan to post an excerpt soon and see what happens.

................

Here is the excerpt:

"U.S. sales of bottled water leaped 170 percent between 1997 and 2006, from $4 billion to $10.8 billion. Globally, bottled water is a $60 billion a year business." Is it all about marketing? All about making money? Have you stopped buying bottled water?
