May is "Read the 'Other' Month"

For the month of May, read something you wouldn’t normally read. If your thing is American poetry, read Asian poetry. If you like European fiction, read African history. If you normally read women authors, read men. You get the idea.

As you go, send us your reflections and insights from your experience for an upcoming Seed Sampler on “Encountering the ‘Other’.”

For more alternative holidays, check out the Mustard Seeds Calendar.
