Book Clubs are Wonderful!

At today's meeting at the library, I felt like Santa Claus. All around the table, each reader had several lists of books that we could choose from to continue our discussions. Many were familiar to me, some not, and all seemed to be beckoning..."open me first!" Book clubs are such wonderful things, forcing us to sit down and actually read, for one thing. They allow us to schedule time for such things as a nice neighborly chat about a good book, that maybe in a more nostalgic time, we wouldn't have to schedule.

Our book for August is Mark Haddon's "Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time." I read this when it was first published and it sticks out as one of my favorite narrators. Try it out and hopefully, you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
