I’ll
let you in on a little secret.
I
always wanted to be in a Book Club.
I
couldn’t articulate why because from the outside I couldn’t be sure exactly
what occurred there – food, wine, maybe even some discussion about a, you know,
book – but it just seemed to me from the way women spoke so reverently about
their Book Clubs, that something special was happening there. And I wanted in.
Since
no one was inviting me into their Book Clubs, I did something drastic.
I
started my own.
About
four years ago, new in town, I invited a bunch of women I hadn’t known very
long into my home to discuss Kelly Corrigan’s The Middle Place. I put out
flowers and food and wine and flavored teas. I lit candles and waited for the
magic to happen.
And
boy, did it ever.
If
you’re in one already, you know what I mean. And if you’re not. Start one. Now.
Because
Book Clubs are about one thing: connection.
