I finally joined a book club.
It's been a while since I opened a good book and finished it. I would say it would be 2-3 years ago that I was reading consistently.
Even though we are avid book buyers, we hardly finish some of the many book from beginning to end. It's always the impulse buy where we were drawn to the cleverly crafted titles and we thought we could easily finish it. But it just didn't turn out that way.
Another reason I stopped reading for a while is that when I was finished with all that particular author's collections, who would I read next?
Sure, there are the classics that I need to tackle. But ...... no good excuses.
So, I figured like exercise (which is something else I need to tackle), I would join a club that makes me accountable and also introduce me to other authors I wouldn't otherwise read.
The next meeting is on Nov 4, Tuesday. We are reading John Grisham's take on a nonfiction, The Innocent Man. I've seen his movies, they are good, but never felt compelled to read his book. This should be interesting.
