I went to my first book club meeting last night. It's a group that my friend, Angela, found on Craigslist almost two years ago and has really enjoyed. Now that I'm out of school and have time to read again, I felt motivated to find one, and she suggested that I visit hers.
I think I'll have to try it for a few months before I have a firm opinion. Last night we met at the Uptown
Pizza Luce which was a little loud for me. Ambient noise doesn't do it for me. They started meeting at public places since they hadn't all met before to help prevent the creepy stranger thing. Next time we're meeting at someone house which might help facilitate discussion. The book for this meeting was funny, but also not very deep, so we didn't really talk about it too much.
Next month's book is a bit heavier, which might help, too.
