Polite Dissent

I know other bloggers have aleady mentioned this, but I think it’s important enough to mention again: The Barnes and Noble Holiday Book Drive “Million Books for a Million Children.”

There are several ways of donating books. The first is to visit the actual Barnes & Noble brick-and-mortar bookstore and choose a tag, pick up and buy an appropriate book, and let Barnes & Noble do the rest. You can also make a donation at any Verizon Plus store (which is not necessarily the same thing as a Verizon Wireless store). For those of you far way from any stores, or who are simply too clever to venture out in the shopping anarchy this time of year, you can also contribute a book online. Choose an appropriate book (or books), proceed to checkout, and fill out the address with following information (The donations have to be done separately from any other purchases):

Not sure what books to buy? The Barnes & Noble site has suggestions (look in the upper left- and upper right-hand corners of the page), and here are some suggestions of my own (make sure to read the comments section too).
