August 2004 marked the sixth year of Kill Your Television Reading Group (KYTV). On the first Wednesday in August, August 4, the KYTV Reading Group celebrated that occasion with an anniversary party and with a stimulating discussion of Robert Penn Warren's All The King's Men. This book is especially interesting to read in an election year in terms of what it relates about all politicians and their followers, whatever party they may be.

The larger than life politician and governor in the book, Willie Stark, is based somewhat on Huey Long, the Governor of Louisiana during the first half of the 1930's who was assassinated. But All The King's Men stands on its own as a novel and goes way beyond a fictionalization of Huey Long's life. In fact the book is just as much about the narrator, Jack Burden, and is presented to the reader as his memoir of his involvement in politics, his life and what he learned from it all.  Rather it is Jack's perceptions of the events that occur, the people involved and his own role in those situations that make the book gripping reading.

KYTV Reading will meet on Wednesday, September 8 at 7 P.M. to discuss One Hundred Years Of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. In October, KYTV Reading Group will return to its normal schedule of meeting the first Wednesday of every month, when it meets on Wednesday, October 6, at 7 P.M to discuss Moby Dick by Herman Melville. Also every Friday evening at 7 P.M there is Pizza and Poetry, where one can munch on a little bit of pizza, read, or recite poetry or just listen.

On September 22, Logos will provide the bootable for the Socrates In The City forum, featuring that evening as speaker, the noted theologian and author, Richard John Neuhaus, author of Naked In The Public Square and many other books. This event will take place at the University Club, 1 West 54th Street right off of Fifth Avenue. Logos will also provide the bootable for the annual conference of the Evangelical Fellowship Anglican Communion (EFAC), New York Chapter on Saturday, September 18 at St. George's Church. 209 East 16th Street, near Stuyvesant Square from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.
