Ever since January 2007, my friends and I have been getting together to do all kinds of talking and eating and drinking.Is this heaven? Yes… it’s a book club.
(I swear: the way he says “Iowa” makes me smile every doggone time.)I’ve been writing book club updates ever since we were 2 ½ years old, but this is the first full list, all in one place, of everything we’ve read.
which book, and sometimes I can even remember what we talked about–including, sometimes, things that made me laugh hard.
