Book club is made up of teacher friends and ultimate friends. We range in age from the seventies to the twenties. We contract and expand, but we have our core. We don't have rules. We want you to come even if you haven't read the book. All of these years what has mattered most is the sharing of life and loss. The books come and go. Some are worth talking about. Some not. I am not sure where we will all be in another decade, but this month we'll be reading The Sound of Wild Snails Eating.
I do miss the book club! I like to think of myself as on a hiatus, not "out of" the club. :)
ReplyDeleteI belonged to a book club, much like the one you describe here, about 12 years ago. I loved the camaraderie, the food and the talk, some about the book for that month, and some about other things. I have not been able to replicate that though there are a few people out there I could see starting a book club with. Maybe that could be my next project...
ReplyDeleteGlad to know the next title! I love how you all rotate who picks it.
