Inbetween, you get assignments and must sit through interminable hours of people trying to sound authoritative. Or worse, someone will "problematize" something.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I ever got at a reading group was frustrated since there were no grades. And the cookies are too sugary.<BR/><BR/>Now a food club? I could dig that.

I've read dozens of books this summer and I'm too tired to talk about them. *shrug*Mensch71https://www.blogger.com/profile/12910736429673037895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840577.post-1121308153129803272005-07-13T22:29:00.000-04:002005-07-13T22:29:00.000-04:00From annieclaus:I read for pleasure. My pleasure....From annieclaus:<BR/>I read for pleasure. My pleasure. I don't care if what I read is great literature or if another soul on the planet loved it or hated it. I don't want to discuss what I've read. I don't want to read what other folks think of what I read. That sounds very selfish, but reading is a selfish process.

First, I read too...I'm not a book club type either. First, I read too fast for them - unless there's a club that does a minimum of five books a month, I'm not interested. <BR/><BR/>Second, analysis ruins the pleasure of reading. <BR/><BR/>So, I have a book blog (www.zenitopia.com), where I try to at least track what I read, so I know if I want to read more from that author, and so I don't duplicate titles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
