Coffee Table Declarations
Monday, March 15, 2004
 
I was never big on getting involved in things when I was in school. I took piano (elementary school), flute and therefore band (jr. high when piano lessons were no longer available), chorus (high school), and chorus (college). I never took advantage of sports, activities, programs, or things designed to broaden my horizons and stimulate my mind. I tried and gave up things like ballet, tap, softball, soccer, gymnastics, and cooking not necessarily in that order. I just wasn't one of those kids who joined and mastered everything they possibly could.

Lately however, my motto seems to be "do things" because not only do I now have my water aerobics class twice a week, I have also decided to join the book club held one evening a month at the bookstore across the street from my apartment. I mean, it's one evening a month - how hard is that? I spent most of the weekend reading the book for the next meeting (and by the way I'd like to recommend this book to Pinky who is looking for books to read - it is long enough to sink your teeth into and good enough to compel you to keep reading.) However, I have no idea what to expect from the book club meeting. I've never been to one. Will we all have to sit around and talk about the book? I'm not quite sure what I would say. I've been reading this book very carefully, trying to notice plot twists, symbolism, character development, etc. This sort of reminds me of writing book reports.
 
Welcome to the coffee table of my mind.
