The Book Club

Just arrived back from our first book club meeting. Glad I ventured out - the girls are all lovely, some of them in situations like mine (ie job-hunting), others who are working, others who are stay-at-home mums.

The taste in books varies, but for the most part not too bad. Sometimes there may be a little chic-lit, but most of it will be bestseller literature. I can live with that. Won't be recommending any of the classics, I don't think a book club is the best forum for discussing the classics. It needs to be light and pithy, with some good issues for discussion.

The first book we will read is The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff. Reviews have been good, but lets wait and see.
