So I'm reading this book, and while it might be the worst NAMED book I've ever read in my life, oddly it's not a terrible book. I keep waiting for it to get bad but it hasn't so far, and as soon as I finish this blog post I'm going back to reading it. So there. I'm actually on my ninth book of the month, so if I keep this up I'll actually be closer to getting to my 125 book-resolution for year.
I did, however, in a fit of jealousy of all my friends and their book clubs, started one of my own. Our first book (picked by poll) is:
Now that it's started and a first meeting and book has been announced, I have no idea what to do at a book club meeting - do you just talk about the book? Should I come up with questions? At a place with wine, or not? Please help! I have no idea what I've gotten myself into!

I think you'll find the questions will come up naturally....some books will elicit more questions than others. Our meetings are usually 45min to 1hr, and start with snacking, discussion, suggestions for the next book, voting on next book, and lastly, 2 volunteers for next times snacks (1healthy, 1 not) :-). I think it depends on your group dynamic...after you guys meet once, you will be able to adjust for personalities. Have fun!
I have always wanted to join a book club. Never been to one, though.
MF: You're welcome to join ours! We have 7 people, and will likely meet at a place instead at someone's house because we're from all over the TB area, likely in the International Plaza/Hyde Park area because it's middle ground (one person from Brandon, one from Clearwater). I'll send you the FB link to our little group :)
As a current new member, I vote wine. :-)
