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?

It was.... complicated. I didn't retain knowledge until far later. But yeah, I tried to use what they knew to make my own conclusions. One of the advantages of how my mutation worked was that I'm pretty sure it changed my brain structure. Which meant I was really good at taking what I learned and putting it together.

Analyzing and synthesizing.

Those are good skills to have, and you can't just absorb them either.

[helpdesk_hero]

Exactly. It worked out for me really well in some ways. But I was a genius before I was a mutant. And after.

[bifroster]

Yeah, you can't really replicate genius. You can have a lot of information, but if you can't do anything with it ...

Of course, I DID pick a terrible twitter handle.

Direct and to the point! I like it!

[helpdesk_hero]

Hardly direct, but the point stands.

[bifroster]

It does.

[Is it alright to be proud of him? Because she is.]

[helpdesk_hero]

I'll resist it here. But thanks for approval.

[bifroster]

You're welcome.
