Woes...

Our last meeting on May 4, 2006, was canceled. When I showed up to Carytown Books, they were closed. I waited for other members to show up, and only Wayne made an appearance.

Our book discussion:

Wayne didn't like the book. I don't think he finished it, either.

I liked some aspects of it, but it was too mired down in history, and kept jumping all over (both the world and centuries). I liked that it took place in Michigan, so I could associate the locations with places I've been. I hated that it took so long to read. I had to force myself to finish it, which isn't like me.


Anyways, Wayne has decided that he no longer wants to be in charge of maintaing a bookclub that noone participates in. I'm considering the idea of trying to keep it going, but he's right--it's almost like a lost cause. I would love to keep the book club going, but I can't be the sole member.

If anyone in the greater-Richmond area is interested in participating in the ground floor efforts of a fledgling bookclub with only one member, please let me know. Otherwise, this page might turn into "ruthie's book reviews".
