So, I've dreamed of being part of a Book Club for ages, but I never really knew of any, and I didn't want to start my own without any other experience. And, well, I am so thankful to have met Tim and Abby who recently moved to the neighborhood and brought with them a well of creativity, thoughtfulness and authenticity. We're reading the Classics, which I am generally not as drawn to, but they have proven to be delightful indeed. Here is a list of books read so far, I joined in July:
March - Great Gatsby
April - Jane Eyre
May - Fahrenheit 451 ( I think)
July - Alice in Wonderland and Candide
August - Great Expectations
September - The Alchemist and The Awakening
And the marrow of the experience is: Responding to the novel in some creative, meaningful way (food, art, song, anything it inspires you to do), which you can share with the group when we meet. There's a blog for the Book Club on the right, but it is a bit outdated.

I just joined a book club this summer and it's awesome! We have 6 guys, and we each submit suggestions, which has led me to read a couple of books I would never have picked out for myself. We read 1 book a month and then meet to discuss. So far it has been awesome. I highly recommend joining to anyone that reads this blog or comment.
you're there in spirit, Kate. =)
And Jason Kates!! thanks for sharing - how excellent that you're in a book club for men! Great to hear from you.
