I’ve belonged to several book clubs since I retired. I can honestly say that I’ve enjoyed most of the books I’ve read. There really only was one, Love in the Time of Cholera, that I really didn’t like. Who am I kidding, I absolutely hated it, and it was a torturous read.
To make matters worse, my poor Dad needed surgery, and I was unable to attend my Book Club meeting that month. I had suffered through the whole book, and never had a chance to complain. Or perhaps understand why others who had enjoyed the book. After all, it was a best seller.
What I have enjoyed about being a member of a book club, though, is the opportunity to read books that I may not have ever picked up to read. There generally are a variety of books from various genres. I’ve also enjoyed getting to know the members of my book club, and learn from each of them. Although, I might not always have agreed it was good to hear different perspectives.
I’ve recently been invited to join a book club here in De Leon. In fact, my book arrived today in the mail, and I’m looking forward to meeting fellow book lovers in my community.
What has been your experience with book clubs?
