Hello friends and Welcome to the "Reading is Cheaper Than Therapy Book Club". We (myself along with a few friends) have agreed to give 'group reading' a try and see what happens. Now, I have personally never been involved in a 'real life' book club nor have I participated in an online book club so I wasn't sure where to begin. After a little research (ahem...google) I have discovered that people are s.e.r.i.o.u.s about book clubs. If that's the club you're looking for, you are in the wrong place.
The purpose of this book club is to, obviously, read and enjoy literature. We all have different types of books that we enjoy and I think it's always healthy to venture outside of our comfort zone...even in reading. With this blog, we will take turns recommending and leading discussions about the books we choose. Written at the top of this blog is one of my favorite quotes that reads, "No two persons ever read the same book". We may find that we disagree on a subject and someone may pick a book that everyone else hates. Let's give it a try and see what happens.
I will
unveil announce via blog the first two books next week. Now, how many books we read and how often is up for questions, comments, and snide remarks. We all are pretty busy people so I don't want to overdo it and then no one participates. My first thought was to choose two books at the beginning of each month and aim to have them completed within three weeks. The moderator of each month can post discussion questions in the middle of the month and we can all comment/discuss as we complete the book(s). Questions? Comments? Snide Remarks?
