Book Club News!
Good Afternoon Digi World!
Cheers to a beginning of a new week. Here's an update of whats going on in my world. I started a book club with some co-workers and close friends so we are currently well into our third meeting. As leader of the book club, I opened the discussion with one of my all-time favorites, THE CATCHER IN THE RYE by J.D. Salinger.
Though I am book club leader, I am not particularly interested in being a tyrant or assuming a dictatorship. As an intellectual democracy my book club members all have the opportunity to host a book club meeting each month, which entails assigning desired book and leading the potential discussion. With a diverse reading list, each member is strongly encouraged to share their unique voice via taste in genre and personal critique. With that being said, the second book in the mix was CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY by Alan Paton.
Our third book selected for roundtable speculation and dissecting is SYBIL by Flora Rheta Schreiber, which ties in perfectly with my poetic aesthetic/overall niche and thesis on women and the asylum. More closely, women and madness.
