For Mothers Who Read

The Web site Salon.com used to have a section called "Mothers Who Think," and since it's been discontinued I've missed the thoughtful views on parenting that used to reside there. But recently, the Book Club feature on Slate.com has reminded me of it -- sort of a "Mothers Who Read." Last week, as noted here, the discussion centered on a book dealing with infertility; this week, an adoptive parent and adoptee discuss "Strangers and Kin: The American Way of Adoption" by Barbara Melosh. Since the parent doing the discussing is a dad, I guess it's more like A Dad Who Reads Makes Mothers with Attitude Think. But it's good reading, for sure.
