 Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds\, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures by 
 Merlin Sheldrake (2020)\nFungi throw our concepts of individuality and eve
 n intelligence into question. They are metabolic masters\, earth makers\, 
 and key players in most of life’s processes. They can change our minds\,
  heal our bodies\, and even help us remediate environmental disaster. By e
 xamining fungi on their own terms\, Sheldrake reveals how these extraordin
 ary organisms — and our relationships with them — are changing our und
 erstanding of how life works.\n\nIn Entangled Life\, the brilliant young b
 iologist Merlin Sheldrake shows us the world from a fungal point of view\,
  providing an exhilarating change of perspective. Sheldrake’s vivid expl
 oration takes us from yeast to psychedelics\, to the fungi that range for 
 miles underground and are the largest organisms on the planet\, to those t
 hat link plants together in complex networks known as the “Wood Wide Web
 \,” to those that infiltrate and manipulate insect bodies with devastati
 ng precision.\n\nFor January 9th\, we will be discussing the modern novel 
 Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng (2017)\nThe Richardson family lives 
 in the planned community of Shaker Heights\, Ohio—a place of wealth\, co
 mfort\, and stability—and they are a clan that embodies those traits. Bu
 t when Mia\, a single mother\, and her fifteen year old daughter\, Pearl\,
  rent a house in the area\, their very different lives will merge with tho
 se of the Richardson family and begin to contort the carefully laid lattic
 e that supports their views. The plotting and pacing are nearly perfect\, 
 the characters believable and real. Ng is a master of family and societal 
 dynamics\, shifting perspectives\, and the secrets that we try to protect
 — even as she continues to stretch herself as a writer. --Chris Schluep\
