Our first meeting...

On Monday, July 31, Blythe, Emily, and myself met at the Willow Lawn Panera to discuss the selected title, "Running with Scissors" by Augusten Borroughs. Although we all had different reactions to the book, the discussion was rather animated regarding the experiences and lifestyle in which the author was "memoiring" about. We also had a great time using the author-posed discussion questions which asked things like, "Are you happy with your hairstyle?" and "Do you wish Target had been around when you were a child?". I believe that everyone had a pretty good time, especially considering we were all strangers.

Before leaving, Blythe suggested a book for our next meeting. "The Memory Keepers Daughter" by Kim Edwards. It should be available at any bookstore (like Books-a-Million and B&N) or your local neighborhood Target.



Our next meeting will be held on September 7, 2006. Make sure to mark your calendars! I will update here once a location and time has been established.
