Huzzah! It's fall.
I did some thinking/conversing over the summer about how we choose books, and propose this new method:
Everyone finds two books they want to read/discuss with the group, and comes to the meeting prepared with their titles/authors. Then each person writes their votes on two little slips of paper, and we put them all in a hat and draw 6. If your book is picked, you talk a little about why you chose that book (why it would be good to read with a group, or about the subject or author) and then we assign each book to a month, and voila! we have 6 months programmed, just like that. Even though it makes for less discussion choosing the books, I think it might be more fair, and ultimately it might challenge us to read books that we might not have chosen for ourselves, which I think is one of the great perks of being in a book club- exploration, conversation, community.
What do you think? Post your thoughts, if you like.
Our next meeting (pending feedback from the group) is Wednesday, November 3 at 7 pm.
Hope to see you there!
