I joined a book club! The first book they're reading is The Road which did not make me very excited because...a man and his son on a road in a burned out shell of civilization sounds like a pretty downbeat 300 pages. And I love me some Oprah but I get judgy on her book club. Reading Oprah Book Club selections make me feel like a suburban housewife. And yet... it's amazing. It's somehow life affirming and frightening all at once. I am proud to be a member of any book club that encourages the reading of novels like this.
