I do, in fact, have a book club. I meet with a couple of guys once a month of a lunchtime discussion of some interesting text, usually, but not always, philosophical.
It's a novel experience to have one of my books read by a reading group.
Books are something social - a writer speaking to a reader - so I think making the reading of a book the center of a social event, the meeting of a book club, is a brilliant idea.
My mother was a part of a reading group, but they would never come near science fiction because they think it's not for them.
I have this book club, and we don't read one book; we offer up a few suggestions and create a library over time.
Having the book-club army embrace you is a gift that keeps giving for years.
My mother had a book club that would dissolve into opening wine.
I can't tell you how excited I was when I joined my first book club, but I can tell you how much I immediately regretted it.
I like to hear from my readers, and I like to feel like I'm part of a bigger community of readers and writers.
Ah, how good it is to be among people who are reading!
