new book club
well, i'm finally going to my neighborhood/ward book club. i've meant to go in the past, but just never got around to it. they meet on a thursday night, which could be a problem if there was a new episode of the office on tonight, but alas there isn't a new episode on tonight.
so, i didn't read the book and have never read it (gone with the wind), but i did read a synposis of it....and i saw the movie a long time ago. it is quite a story though...many, many twists and turns (and at least as many men in scarlett's life). since i haven't read it i won't be able to get super invovled in the discussion (or will i?), but it's always good to just get a feel for a group. it's amazing how they're all so different: some are good at having/sustaining discussions, others have good food, some have both, ect, ect. i'm interested to see what this group is like.
i already know that the book for next month is marilynne robinson's new one: home. i just read gilead, so am excited about reading home too. having a good book for next month seems like a good omen at least.

I like to see that you have your priorties. Office? Or book group. I have shows like that too. I hope you enjoy the group. We don't do anything like that here. Too redneck I guess. (I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that most don't read down here) I enjoyed your snowy Valentine's day blog too.
Have fun! Our ward book group meets on Thursday evenings. Its just hard for me to want to go when Roland is around. I should one of these days : )
I just read Gilead and Home as well. I enjoyed them both. I think John liked Gilead a bit better and I liked Home a bit better. Let us know what you think. My book club is also on Thursday nights, and I don't miss, but I'm always sad to be missing the Office and 30 Rock. I hope you have a good group.
