I'm Jeanna Rock and we're talking about why you should join a book club. The reason why
I joined or I created our book club is because I really wanted to discuss literature with
adults, not high school kids. Now that probably isn't the reason why other people would want
to but joining a book club can be a very intellectual experience. For one thing, you can actually
have discussions with people about the literature that's being talked about and you can actually
sound smart. Another reason to join the book club is because you can create a community
and make new friends. Our group has been meeting for ten years, eleven years. And we have become
very, very close friends, even though we really didn't know each other that well at the beginning.
Another reason to join a book club would be to expand your reading. I know that sometimes
we have a tendency to read the same kind of literature over and over again. And so when
you're required to read something different, it forces you to get out of your comfort zone.
And I know a lot of the women in my group has had their comfort zone tested.
