There is always a social aspect, I think, but both the small groups I'm in formed out of very strong reading intentions, and we've stuck to them. <br /><br />And now I HAVEN'T YET READ THE BOOK! I think I will devote the entire day Sunday to seeing how much of it I can devour before our meeting! David has been officially invited to the meeting (7 p.m.) and is mulling over the invitation but won't yet commit. Tick-tock, tick-tock....P. J.

Unfortunately, that's why we're more of a social club than a book club...Kathyhttp://upwoods.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-31188815728506679322012-01-12T09:53:24.237-08:002012-01-12T09:53:24.237-08:00I thought he should go in my place.

It's the closest we come to truly comprehending a perspective that is not our own.<br /><br />I think Sarah is quite beautiful.Gerryhttp://torchlakeviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-9409045485068527812012-01-12T04:15:27.802-08:002012-01-12T04:15:27.802-08:00Love when that happens, when you get so engrossed ...Love when that happens, when you get so engrossed in a book that you lose all track of everything else.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.com
