I have a love-hate feeling about book clubs in general.
I
love the idea of book clubs - an eclectic group of people getting
together to discuss something they've read - simple. There are lots of
reasons to participate in a book club. Meet new people who share your
love of reading, get out of the house, experience new authors or genres,
lively discussions etc...
I hate book clubs - for some
reason people in book clubs seem to think that they're supposed to read
books that are 'lofty' or the classics. There are thousands of books
and just as many reasons for reading them. Don't be afraid to read something that is classified as humor, mystery, sci-fi, historical fiction or (gasp!) romance simply because they aren't considered 'classics'.
A classic is something everyone wants to have read but no one wants to read. ~ Mark Twain
