I know that some readers don't quite understand the dilema our bookclub has. Essentially we have two sectors. The old ladies and the youngsters. The original members established a rapport, a friendly atmosphere where we can talk about anything and everything...and when the "elders" came in, it kind of ruined that for us. Slowly we have been trying to fade ourselves out. It's not really working.
Last week, right before our secret bookclub meeting, the elders sent out an email. "Hey, lets get together at the end of October to discuss Mockingjay." My initial response was to laugh because it took our members 17 days to read the book. The elders have given themselves about two months.
I CAN'T work like that! Two months, really. After our Friday night bookclub, we made a decision: find an excuse to have your name removed from the elders list. So far two have said that work is too busy, that is easy. We joked that we should say we stopped reading alltogether, but I can't even type that...
As soon as I am done here, I am off to send my "Sorry, but I can't be involved with your old lady book club anymore, because it causes me to roll my eyes, make gagging noises, and swear under my breath" email.
Toodles!
