How To Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers BUY NOW
Insight Meditation Center, 108 Birch St., Redwood City
Long time Vipassana student Toni Bernhard has written an insightful and helpful book on how to practice Buddhism while sick. Toni has been chronically ill for many years, much of that time housebound and bed- ridden.
From her personal experience she has written a wonderfully personal and deeply compassionate book for people both ill and healthy. Since her illness limits how much she can do, we are fortunate that she will be sharing her book and wisdom with us at IMC.

Zeitoun by Dave Eggers
The true story of one family, caught between America’s two biggest policy disasters: the war on terror and the response to Hurricane Katrina.
Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun run a house-painting business in New Orleans. In August of 2005, as Hurricane Katrina approaches, Kathy evacuates with their four young children, leaving Zeitoun to watch over the business. In the days following the storm he travels the city by canoe, feeding abandoned animals and helping elderly neighbors. Then, on September 6th, police officers armed with M-16s arrest Zeitoun in his home. Told with eloquence and compassion, Zeitoun is a riveting account of one family’s unthinkable struggle with forces beyond wind and water.

On the Blue Comet BUY NOW
Trains and time travel spur one boy’s thrilling adventure as he seeks to rejoin his father in a new classic from Rosemary Wells and Bagram Ibatoulline.
One day in a house at the end of Lucifer Street, on the Mississippi River side of Cairo, Illinois, eleven-year-old Oscar Ogilvie’s life is changed forever. The Crash of 1929 has rippled across the country, and Oscar’s dad must sell their home—with all their cherished model trains—and head west in search of work. Forced to move in with his humorless aunt, Carmen and his teasing cousin, Willa Sue, Oscar is lonely and miserable—until he meets a mysterious drifter and witnesses a crime so stunning it catapults Oscar on an incredible train journey from coast to coast, from one decade to another.
