Book club

Ah the joy of reading. To wrap yourself in the images created by the written word using someone's else's idea but morphing it into you're vision. Its almost like painting by numbers only without the paint and the bossy numbers. Friday night was book club night and as much as I'd like to say book club is about the love of reading. It's really more about the love of females getting together to chat, laugh and have a good time.
Our lovely hostess was Jody this time. She welcomed us all into her beautiful home and made a wonderful paste dinner. We sipped drinks and discussed this months book which was P.S. I love you by Cecelion Adhern. It's amazing how much tastes can be different, some of us really loved this book and hated last months (which was another book by the same author) and some of us hated this book but loved the other. I was in the second party. I loved last months choice but felt this one fell short of hitting the same mark.
I think what is even more interesting to me is not our likes and dislikes of the books but rather our ability for a group of women - all from different walks of life, generations and families to be able to sit and discuss how we felt about these books. For a lot of people reading is very intimate and sharing those thoughts can be very difficult - I think its so wonderful that we can sit and honor each others feelings all the while sharing our own. I love book club night!
