I love to read and I read a lot. But I have never joined a book club. I'm not sure I would enjoy having to read this particular book by his particular date. Although meeting up to chat about it after would be fun I don't know anyone who is part of a book club either or I might give it a try Have you ever been part of one?

@YesWay Yesterday I saw a book Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho. I liked the plot so have started reading the same. Which one are you reading currently?

I joined a book club years ago, but then I stopped. I was not interested to read only the books they proposed.

@ladyduck Yes I think that would be my problem. Then I wouldn't read the book but I would have to pretend I did and it would be like being back at school again

@YesWay Yes, since I bought Kindle reader, I enjoy reading on it. One could read even in dark.

Oh no, not for me. I'm an avid reader but I find the books I read myself. I don't want anyone's suggestion.

I love to read, but not what others tell me to. We have to be in a book club at work sometimes and it is always a book about education or child psychology.

@petatonicsca I would worry that I would lose my love of reading if I was told what to read
