   This fourth Tuesday is the final installment for UU Can’t Ban My Books. Come ready to read courageously, reflect deeply, and stand up for the stories that matter. Books are available locally at Lit on Fire, online at bookshop.org/shop/UUCP, for free at your local library.   

   This month’s selection is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, whose easygoing humor and prose are well-suited to his young audience. Alexie doesn’t pull many punches as he levels his eye at stereotypes, both warranted and inapt. A few of the plotlines fade to gray by the end, but this ultimately affirms the incredible power of best friends to hurt and heal in equal measure. Younger teens looking for the strength to lift themselves out of rough situations would do well to start here. This book was the most-challenged book in the United States from 2010 to 2019.

  Join other retired UU men for lunch on the last Friday of the month. Questions? Email Bill Keefner at wkeef84@gmail.com.
