I know that many writers visit book clubs, but how many of us are in a book club? (If we were in a classroom, I bet we wouldn’t see many hands go up.)
After reading Kathryn’s Stockett’s, The Help, I really wanted to be in a book club. I had an opinion, and I wanted to share it with other readers.
I’m on Shelfari, but that doesn’t do it for me. (One of the reasons could be that I don’t visit the site often enough. I can’t remember the last time I updated my bookshelf…) I want to talk to people, not type what I thought of a particular novel.
I say all that to say that I’m seriously thinking of starting my own book club. Nothing big, just five or so members. Yes, we would eat and laugh, but mostly we would discuss the book that we’ve read that month.
Anybody else in a book club? What do you enjoy about it?
Like you, I’m not in one but WANT to be.
I started one with a few friends of mine. Nothing major, but I wanted to start running my mouth about all the great books I’ve been reading lately.
Go ahead and start one! It doesn’t have to be big, just an evening of friends, wine, food, and books. What could be better?
