July's Books




In “More or less: choosing a lifestyle of excessive generosity,” Jeff Shinabarger asks readers to find out how much is “enough.” When he and his wife decided to see how long they could last without buying groceries, they went seven weeks on the contents of their freezer and pantry. A woman who decided to wear everything in her closer once went 156 days without wearing the same thing twice. The author suggests ways for readers to share their bounty with others.
