I love reading and experiencing new stories and new ideas through literature. I can be sitting on my bed but feel like I'm traveling the world. I love it. I love the way books can shape who I am and help me think about the world in new ways. Books open my mind and expand my horizons.
This book club has taken the joy I get from reading one step further. It is so enjoyable to talk about why a book is so meaningful with other people that value literature. It's comforting to have friends agree with and understand why a book is so meaningful. I also loved hearing my friends insights. They pick up on things I never would have seen and that adds a whole extra layer of meaning and pleasure to a book.
You have done something I have wanted to do for years! Good for you. I would love to know what you are reading in Book Club. Do tell!
