Recommended book: "Ill Fares the Land" by Tony Judt
Tim Rutten of the Los Angeles Times wrote a review of the book “Ill Fares the Land” by Tony Judt in March, 2010 and later in August, 2010, after the death of Tony Judt, an appreciation of his life. Rutten wrote, “The late historian spoke out on the issues of the day with a clear and calm veracity that will be missed in today’s partisan landscape. What follows are excerpts from those articles.
In the latest issue of London Review of Books, Judy tells an interviewer, “I think what we need is a return to a belief not in liberty, because that is easily converted into something else . . .but in equality. Equality, which is not the same as sameness. Equality of access to information, equality of access to knowledge, equality of access to education, equality of access to power and to politics . . .It is another way of talking about injustice. We need to rediscover a language of dissent. It can’t be an economic language since part of the problem is that we have for too long spoken about politics in an economic language where everything has been about growth, efficiency, productivity and wealth, and not enough has been about collective ideals around which we can gather . . .around which we can be motivated collectively, whether on the issue of justice, inequality, cruelty or unethical behavior. We have thrown away the language with which to do that.”
Where is that to be found? It says something of the author’s capacious intelligence that, in the concluding chapter of “Ill Fares the Land,” he quotes Edmund Burke’s belief that society is “a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.”Links by Day | Features | Listings | Weekly | Psychics | News | Subscribe | Parking

Bodhi News Part 3: FUTURE OF THE BODHI TREE BOOKSTORE
The Bodhi Tree Bookstore is undergoing a transition. Sales for the Bodhi Tree Bookstore have been declining for more than a decade. In the last two years, sales have been drastically low and the Bodhi Tree Bookstore has been operating at a loss. Looking for ways to provide financial relief, we entered into an agreement to sell the buildings and property, but not the bookstore, with a closing date of November 28, 2011. The bookstore closed to business on December 31, 2011.
The business is in the process of being sold to a new owner who plans to continue the legacy of the bookstore in an expanded visionary form. All the pictures, bookshelfs, show cases and other furniture are now in tempoary storage. To keep informed, visit our website www.bodhitree.com and our facebook page

Where to park near the Bodhi Tree Bookstore
WHERE TO PARK NEAR THE BODHI TREE BOOKSTORE:
Friends of the Bodhi Tree,
One of the most common problems of life in Los Angeles is finding a parking space. Here's a guide that we hope will make it easier for you to park and help you avoid getting a parking ticket when visiting the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in West Hollywood. Park cautiously and feel free to ask us where and when you may park.
The Bodhi Tree Bookstore has three customer parking spaces in front of the former Used Book building on Westbourne Avenue. Metered street parking is generally available. In addition, there are two parking structures ( Pacific Design Center and West Hollywood park/Library Parking Structure), and Valet parking. See below for details.
VALET PARKING:
The City of West Hollywood, the Urth Caffé, the Bodhi Tree Bookstore and other local merchants have a community valet parking program.
The pick-up area is in front of the Bodhi Tree Annex building at 8583 Melrose Avenue.
The cost is $5.00 and it is in operation from 10:30 am to 11 pm.
Consider using valet parking the next time you want to visit not only the Bodhi Tree Bookstore but also Kitson, Waterworks and Mansour across the street, followed by a visit to Soolip for some beautiful paper. There are many interesting stores in the area. Finally, before heading home, you can relax with a wonderful "caffé" at Urth or Le Pain Quotidien. Through valet parking, you may "forget" about your car for long time.
How to park for free: The Bodhi Tree Bookstore offers a "help you park" program. We will reimburse or credit the basic Valet fee ($5.00) for a minimum purchase of $15.00.
PACIFIC DESIGN CENTER PARKING STRUCTURE:
The parking garage entrance for Pacific Design Center is located on Melrose Avenue, just east of San Vicente Boulevard. First 20 minutes free, $1.50 each 15 minutes thereafter. $13.50 maximum weekdays. $6 flat rate after 6 pm Monday through Wednesday; $9 flat rate after 6 pm Thursday; $10 flat rate after 6 pm Froday and Saturday. $7 flat rate 10 am-6 pm saturday and all day Sunday.
