Sometimes, I can't wait to get old. How fun will it be when, all the kiddies are at baseball practice and you get together with your closest friends to discuss the latest book your reading in Book Club. Mind you, with my friends this convo may be over several litres of wine and perhaps a conference call or two. I'm sure this sounds like some peoples nigthmare, in fact very few of my friends are avid readers. S- devours books as fast as I do except her choices are always super weird, while B reads two at a time and never really finishes either, A - loves the chick lit, and the rest of my friends have been known to chant "No one likes you when you read Mi."
Our Book Club may seem destined to fail, if it weren't for the fact that while some people can pick out the best new band, I can pick out the best new book. I am unequivocally good at finding the kind of books that my less than eager friends will begrudgingly pick up, only to never want to put down. However, rather than rushing middle age, I will placate myself at the moment by creating my Book Bucket List - 10 books to read before you die, because I told you to. So curl up with a cup of tea by the fire ( yes I am aware that it is June and a beach blanket and Corona would be much more appealing) and start reading!
