Book Club (update)

I'm very excited for book club this year. We are reading so many great books. So far we've read "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green, which is absolutely fabulous. I had read it before and suggested we take the time to read it this year. It is a romantic novel with comedic elements and a lot of serious issues, but I think it's a great read for teens. Most people in the club weren't as crazy about this novel as I was, but I think it really allowed people to venture outside of their comfort zone.

What I really enjoy about book club is that there is such a variety of different people, and everyone is so dedicated to reading, we'll try just about anything. We have a huge mix of books this year, including sic-fi, short stories, poetry,WWII novels, and American classics. Being part of a club, that truly allows me to express my interests and thoughts, has been amazing. We've assembled a great group of people this year, and I can't wait to share more reading experiences with them. Next up - Jack Kerouac's "On the Road".
