And I also agree that blogging is like having a book group, too--a wonderful, far-flung and ever-expanding book group!<BR/><BR/>bellezza--I think that's true about teaching! I've only had a few opportunities to teach in my life, but it definitely expanded my knowledge of the subject. And I've been trying to keep my challenge-joining to a minimum lately, because I tend to go a little crazy with them and then don't finish any :)<BR/><BR/>matt--I feel like I'm part of a huge book club in the blogging community, too. And one day I'm sure you'll have more time for a local group!<BR/><BR/>literary feline--I hope you find a group as nice as the one I feel so fortunate to have fallen into! I really enjoy the book discussions, not to mention the food and the laughter :)Gentle Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102364083044797155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-31895005016055796092008-06-14T22:50:00.000-07:002008-06-14T22:50:00.000-07:00Your book club sounds wonderful.

But I enjoy reading everyone's answer to the question. I guess the degree of appreciation would not change whether I'm obliged to read a book or not. Book group is a lot of fun when a bunch of like-minded book lovers come together for a mini party. I miss the book club and maybe one day I can start my own. :)<BR/><BR/>I feel like I'm part of a huge book club in the book blogging community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-22702738832380670912008-06-13T07:06:00.000-07:002008-06-13T07:06:00.000-07:00They say you don't really understand something unt...They say you don't really understand something until you teach it, and I find the same thing as what you said: I understand a book a bit better when I'm accountable in a group's discussion of it. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I'm such a compulsive person that I can't get too many challenges/lists going or I forsake joy for obligation.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-56127886700782886602008-06-13T00:33:00.000-07:002008-06-13T00:33:00.000-07:00I've heard you mention your reading group before a...I've heard you mention your reading group before and it sounded wonderful.
