Since Haiti has been in the news lately, this week's Weekly Geeks theme was to talk about the country in a positive light.
The topic was proposed by Softdrink, whose own post in response to it discussed an essay about Haiti written by Truman Capote in 1948, and included a link to read the essay online.
Care of Care's Online Book Club talked about Tracy Kidder's book Mountains Beyond Mountains, which tells the story of Dr. Paul Farmer. Dr. Farmer has spent his entire life working in Haiti, and is the founder of Partners in Health, one of the nonprofits working hard to help in the aftermath of the earthquake.
At everything distils into reading, Gautami spotlighted Haitian author Edwidge Danticat's first novel, Breath, Eyes, Memory. Laura of Musings also talked about this author, as she is currently reading her short-story collection The Dew Breaker, which features tales of Haitian immigrants in New York City.
Shannon sought out some Haitian stories and posted an original drawing of a Haitian child on Confuzzled Books.
