ok, so my book club met last night and organized itself. while this might not be fast-breaking news, it does make life easier. we have decided upon 6 books, and 6 meeting dates and 6 meeting places- all in advance so we can make read ahead as needed. i have traditionally hosted the meeting at the end of february (icall it my birthday book club) and serve a meal that goes along with the book. i chose jane austin's persuasion, because we have never read austin and it is relatively short. there were those who grumbled that this book was not voted upon, and that it was probably a squishy hormone book- austin is all about social satire, not hormones, which this group will certainly discover upon closer inspection. ah well. i do hope that lapsed and sorely missed book club members will read this book and plan on coming on wednesday february 26 at 7:00............
