Book Club Anyone?

MrsMcK and I (she is a librarian so knows her stuff, lol) are thinking about starting a book club. She is in Levittown and I in Seaford. I have a friend in Boston who is in a book club - they meet once a month at restaurants, cafes, peoples' houses, other venues...

Anyway, would anyone be interested in joining us?

Oh...I wish I didn't live all the way up in Putnam now- I would love to. Maybe I will be able to swing it. I used to belong to one when I lived in Queens but there was a huge personality conflict between two girls and it folded.

If you met on a weekend I might be able to do it. I grew up in Levittown so I know the area. I will think about it!

Re: Book Club Anyone?

THis is great!!! What day of the week is good? Personally I would say Monday or Wednesday evening....but a weekend is doable for me as well, and maybe people who are further away would be able to come then too.

Let's pick a book, a time and place to meet:

I would be very interested, but I live in Queens, so I don't know if it is feasible. Chat Icon

Re: Book Club Anyone?

Queens is only as far away as you think it is...LOL!! No seriously, if we did it once a month, it's not too much of a committment -- each month one member picks a book AND the place to meet... so when it is your turn, it will be in Queens if you want. And we can car pool....

My friend's club - they have been doing this for years - sometimes they meet at Tanglewood in the summer -- and Cape Cod another month..then maybe a cool cafe in Boston -- they are from all over the Boston are, but there are only 8 people I think...

Re: Book Club Anyone?

Tuesday/Thursday isn't good for me, and I generally work 1 Saturday a month, but if I know in advance when the meeting is, I can schedule that day off.

I can be pretty flexible with whatever day is chosen unless I have a prior committment.

Re: Book Club Anyone?

Don't think I can join you, but I just wanted to add that I think Reading Lolita in Tehran would be a great first book - I liked it very much and it's about a book club!

Re: Book Club Anyone?

Are there any genres that are off limits? I'm trying to work on my book list and I found a true crime book that I'd like to suggest, but I'm not sure if this is appropriate or not for the book club. Any thoughts?
