"Who, What, Where, When, and Why.
Who:I know everyone on this list is a reader so I hope you are all interested in giving it a try! Also, feel free to forward this to anyone who you think might enjoy or benefit from participating. My only recommendation is that they either enjoy reading, want to start enjoying reading, and that they are willing to participate in a discussion. The only restriction is you MUST be open-minded! There will be books that you disagree with or just dislike. It is ok; the greatest privilege is the right to your own opinion. Challenge stimulates the mind and allows for fuller discussions.
What:Ever read a book that speaks to your soul, impacts you beyond entertainment, leaves you with a desire to do, to be, to have? These books can be fiction, non-fiction, political, religious, entertaining, philosophical, controversial, joyous, sad, simple, complex…
Where:I have no problem hosting them at my apartment or we could go out maybe to a café, or over dinner at a restaurant, drinks at a quite bar. Also, I was thinking about utilizing Skype so that way no travel is involved and we can do it from the comfort of our own homes.
When:Ideally, I would like to meet every 2 or 3 months and discuss the chosen book. That gives you enough time to read the book.
Why:Sometimes you need to step away from the excel spreadsheet, your blackberry, the economy, work, the car, the baby, and every other everyday topic. It is an opportunity to engage and cultivate the three “I’s”. To possibly expose yourself to something other than a good read; acquire something meaningful and different. Lastly, if all else fails it’s a night out with the girls
How:I am looking for variety so I would like a different person to host and suggest a book for each meeting and lead the discussion.
Cheers, Chrissy"...more
