Clubbin'

It seems like everyone is in a book club. I don't really know how they work except that everyone reads the same book and then they talk about it. Is that fun? How long do you get to read the book? What happens if you show up to the meeting and you haven't finished the book, or worse, even started it? Is there punishment? I like to read as much as the next person but to be honest sometimes I would rather just zone out in front of the TV.


Over the holidays I read a couple books. Fast Food Nation was one of the selections. I loved it. It was probably the most facinating book I ever finished. I will no longer eat fast food (I didn't each much to begin with) and now I'm dealing with the withdrawals of hamburgers. Hamburgers have been my favorite food my entire life. Now I can't even bring myself to buy ground beef. I made ground turkey burgers a week or so ago and there was just something not right with it. I'll have to experiment more.




Now I'm reading Garbage Land. This could turn out to be as fascinating as Fast Food Nation. Oh, don't get me wrong, I can still put the book down at anytime to zone out to the TV but is it very interesting what happens to garbage. I wonder what I won't do when I'm finished with it.
