003. - Book Club!

[helpdesk_hero]

Alright, so I've suggested this a little to some friends of mine, but I'm thinking about throwing this out a bit wider.

I'm thinking about starting up a book club. Less in the style of book of the month and more organizing one or possibly more groups who can share books or even genres they love most with other people. People would still do the whole guiding discussion but not looking for high end critique so much as just talking about it.

We all need something to unwind and I don't doubt some of us are really fans of reading. I would think the arrangement might work best with members willing to buy their own books. I think for the first few meetings I'd be willing to cook either a simple meal or some finger foods to enjoy, but people could also volunteer to provide food or drinks.


Anyone interested in the idea?

[He needs a moment to look that up.]

How pretty.

Pretty, and one of the smartest animals on the planet. I love them. They're really interesting. I've been reading a lot of studies on them. They form family groups, and recognize people's faces, and make tools.

[David's smiling so wide just talking about this. He's truly a nerd.]

[rebelhealer]

I did not know that.

[Thedas doesn't exactly have professional ornithologists, and Anders hasn't ever really picked up a bird book.]

That's really interesting.

[helpdesk_hero]

A lot of people don't. Corvids are amazing animals.

[Still smiling and self-satisifed.]

But you're not here to listen to me drone on about that.

[rebelhealer]

Oh, I don't know, I never knew birds were so interesting.

[Says the man who wore a feathered short coat all the time back in his world.]

I'm certainly going to read the sequels to The Golden Compass at some point.

[Hey, finding birds to be good fashion isn't the same as knowing things about them.]

As someone who has read the sequels, I'm not sure it's a good idea. But you do you.
