Book # 92: No! I Don't Want To Join A Bookclub

I don't know anbout you, but I certainly want to join a book club. In fact, I am a member! And just because the title of this book is titled the way it is, does not mean that it's ani-book club. It is just a statement from a 60 year old woman, who doesn't know what to do with her life.

It does throw out the question to everyone, that we all can relate to. "What do you do when you reach a point in your life, and you want to do something else?" So, just because it's about a 60 year old woman, doesn't mean I myself, being male, cannot relate to it.

This was the second "post-Fat Man's," "Manhunt" being the first held at Our Hometown Restaurant. This one was held at The Library.

The consensus was that the book was good. All could realte to the book. It brought humor and enlightenment for those close to or over the age of 60. It made the ones who weren't there yet, apprecaite those in the age brackett.

By the way, Manhunt was well recieved last month. People seemed to enjoy the historical value of Manhunt, and the interesting things it brought up. Such as, how people could get so close to the president back then. How the president was protected. How things are different now. We also learned that John Wilkes Booth had a connection to a local town near us...Brookville, Pennsylvania! Ask a book club member about that one.

The talley is one for Hometown Restaurant, one for the library.

Book Club Trivia

The first book that was discussed at bookclub was "East of Eden," at Fat Man's, and was book 1.


The last book to be discussed at Fat Man's was "The Great Gatsby" and was book 89.

Good Bye Old Friend...The Meeting Place

All of our book club was sadden by the news that our meeting place of over 88 times, would cease to be there after the January meeting.

Rumors ciculated around that they were closing due to illness, and that the ship would close it's doors in February before the book club meeting.

After the shock and awe subsided, the question in everyone's mind is...Where do we have bookclub now? After having it for so long at Fat Man's, and it's convenient location of right across the street from the library, it was just a surprise to all.

Where do we have bookclub? Why we have it at the only other restaurant that is available for breakfast, Our Hometown Restaurant. They were gracious enough to let us come and try it there. It wasn't too bad. Everyone just needs to get used to the fact that we have to have it somewhere new. And new it shall be.

The new option is, that the person who picks the book, also picks the location. So far we had the discussion after Fat Man's closing at OHR. We then tried the library as a position for the meetings. So, we then came up with an offereing, like I said, that whoever's turn it was to pick a book, will also pick the location. It seems like a good comprimise for now.
