2. Check out our new blog: Can You Read Me?
 http://cchcp-canyoureadme.tumblr.com/
We are inspired to provide this blog because here in the office we love talking about books and we love talking about culture. We have many lunchtime conversations that start with the question "Have you heard about this book?" We have a speaker series called Can You Hear Me? which builds bridges between health care professionals and diverse communities. This Can You Read Me? blog is a spin-off from this series that always energizes us and sparks great discussions. If you think about it, pretty much any book has something to do with some aspect of culture. So how will we pick which to discuss? We'll focus on books that made us think, that inspired us to discuss it with others, and that are just too interesting not to share. We will be presenting reviews of books, as well as links to related resources, photos, songs, etc. Please feel free to add your thoughts and make some suggestions along the way!
