If you’ve ever thought about joining a book club, I highly recommend it. I’m a member of two, and I love them both. Book clubs are a fantastic way to find out about good books and have a chance to discuss them with people you like. When a group of people all read the same thing and get together, you inevitably get a lot of different opinions, and it’s really interesting to see things from other people’s perspective for a while.

“I want to live in the sun and I want to do all the things I never have done! Sunlit mornings do, dah, do, dah, do, keep me from feeling alone…” Okay, okay, so Sharon Park isn’t quite the “Netherlands,” (my warmest regards to Dan Fogelberg) but when it comes to one [...]
