Yes, I’ve finished it and I haven’t posted anything about it yet. I loved it; thought it was excellent. I’ll post about it after our meeting (which is Thursday 1/17).

Hey Trish, Have you finished Stones from the River yet? I remember seeing a comment of yours somewhere that you couldn’t get into it. I read it many years ago and really enjoyed it, but we all like different things, right? I was wondering if you finished it and if your book club has met yet to discuss it.

At this point we’re meeting when everyone’s read the book. As it turns out, I’m the slowest reader because I have the least amount of time. I work two jobs, so you can imagine I don’t have as much time as I would like to read. But we’ve read two books in two months, so that’s not too bad.

That’s a good idea to have the other book club members invite someone else to join. I could definitely see certain people flaking!

I’m so glad you’ve found/created a group that you’re excited about! I know just how you feel. Stones from the River is EXCELLENT, and very unique. I look forward to hearing about your book club discussion (I know you just had your last one, so it will be a little while). How often do you meet?

Is your book club a work group, or can you invite people from outside the office? I was thinking that you might want to consider having the other members of your club invite someone else to join, so that you grow a little larger. 6 is fine, but what happens when someone can’t make it, or is on vacation, or didn’t have time to read the book? It might be hard to have a great discussion with just 3 or 4. Just a thought!
