Today’s column is about the community reading programs in Rancho Cucamonga, Pomona and Claremont. Each city has numerous events planned, far too many to list. Thank goodness for the Internet.

Read about Rancho’s effort here. Claremont’s, here. And Pomona’s here.

The Pomona program’s web address is the ridiculous http://www.class.csupomona.edu/downtowncenter/bigread/events.html. Putting that in my column would have resulted in two or three hyphens, which would only have confused everyone more.

Here’s the Big Read website and its current lineup of books. I’ve read only eight of the 22.
