reading (The Wide Window and New Harmony, Indiana)
I read book three in "A Series of Unfortunate Events" so I wouldn't fall behind
derien. :)
Then I picked up a book on the New Harmony socialist experiment which had just arrived in the mail. It was originally published as an article in the "Indiana Magazine of History." It gives a brief overview of events and footnotes to more extensive sources. Unfortunately most of the book is devoted to short biographical sketches of significant residents of the town and events that took place well after the experimental aspects of the community had ceased to exist. The format is fairly scattered and the coverage is uneven, I wouldn't recommend the book.

79. Donald F. Carmony and Josephine M. Elliott "New Harmony, Indiana: Robert Owen's Seedbed for Utopia"
