I love my book club! In my book club there is very little talk of the antagonist, protagonist, foreshadowing or even plot development. While the books we read have these things, we seem to discuss these elements as they relate to our own lives.
There are no expectations from this group of women, in fact I don't them personally very well at all. Yet last night I felt very connected to these women as we told our stories of various events that had taken place over the holidays. Though last month's book was Stephen King's, The Body our discussions were light and full of laughter. We discussed the child that got naked during a play date when playing dress up, the boy who colored various body parts with a permanent marker, and my favorite, the evangelical father in law wearing a Hawaiian shirt covered in pot leaves, that of course he thought was just tropical foliage.
Our book club is definitely full of characters and I can't wait to see how these characters and the denouement plays out. I can only hope that each one of us is blessed with our own deus ex machina.
