A malnourished slum kitten is carried back to the beautiful sanctuary by the Dalai Lama himself. Her arresting blue eyes are slowly shown everything in the Buddhist leader's life: timeless wisdom that comes only in the quietest moments between animal and man. You'll follow His Holiness' cat as she rubs up against Hollywood stars, teaches lessons at the feet of Buddhist masters, and learns how a bodhisattva deals with life in the twenty-first century, and soon see why a cat has the best vantage point on the fragility and beauty in all humans.

About Ready Readers

The Ready Readers book group meets monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, 3 – 4:30 p.m. Our meetings are “hybrid” – in person at the Scandinavian Living Center with a Zoom option for remote attendees. We read a variety of both fiction and non-fiction, chosen by the members from among books “nominated” by the members. Usually, the person who nominated the book will lead the discussion. We have always had both men and women members. New members are welcome!

The group was formed in 2013. Current leaders are Sallie Craig Huber and Charmian Proskauer.
