BOOK CLUB

Yep, I am a proud member of a Book Club and, as a result, I actually read less than ever before.  Instead of deleting items on my kindle, I am adding books to the point where I fear my machine will overload.  As I sit here typing this post, I am getting panicked because Book Club is Wednesday night of this week and I can’t even remember the name of the book.  No worries girls, I will read the book and I will be more than happy to bring a dessert!  I adore the social aspect of the club and I love knowing that I belong to a book club.  However, as the months go by, I am realizing that the actual conversations about the material is getting shorter while the gossip and wine consumption is getting larger.  Fine by me ! In fact, I assume my club realized this very stance when I proposed a modern idea for our Book Club today.  In addition to books, we could also add new topics of discussion to our CLUB.  The members would remain the same but we could broaden our horizons by going on field trips to movies, ethnic restaurants, dance clubs, foot massage places, strip clubs as well as having nights devoted to discussions on - travel, wine, cooking, sex, beauty tips, fashion tips, magazine articles, favorite websites.. the list goes on.  I adore having a monthly date with my club friends but I do feel we could broaden our scope and mix it up.  And yes of course, we could still pick a book to read as a group.  As, my dear friend joked, leave it to me to propose a book club with no books.  We could rename our club- The Lifestyle Club.  In any event, I am not a member of  “The Bad Girls Book Club” where half the group does not read the book and the other half doesn’t even show up.  We have been avid readers who are able to moderate our own provacative discussions on the chosen books.  Hence, why I think we should build on the great club foundation we already have.  See you Wednesday!
