Stanwood-Camano Community Book Group - "Better Living Through Birding" by Christian Cooper
Drop in for a lively book discussion with your community neighbors. Meet new friends, enjoy a love of books, and check out something new from your community library. This month we will be discussing Better Living Through Birding by Christian Cooper.
In Better Living Through Birding, Cooper tells the story of his extraordinary life leading up to the now-infamous incident in Central Park and shows how a life spent looking up at the birds prepared him, in the most uncanny of ways, to be a gay, Black man in America today. From sharpened senses that work just as well at a protest as in a park to what a bird like the Common Grackle can teach us about self-acceptance, Better Living Through Birding exults in the pleasures of a life lived in pursuit of the natural world and invites you to discover them yourself.
