I only saw the wisdom of book clubs when I had been out of school for a few years. At first, I read all the time, but soon my reading habits declined. It wasn't that I wasn't interested in reading books anymore. I loved to read, but I just didn't have the time. I was always so stressed out that I came up with any excuse possible to not sit down for an hour or two with a book. When I had the time, I would sit in front of the TV instead. I knew that I needed some way to start reading. I couldn't think of a solution – that is until one of my friends invited me to his science fiction book club.
Book clubs practically saved my life. That science fiction book club was fun, but it was far from my only involvement in book reading groups. You see, science fiction is fun, but it has never been a passion of mine. Science fiction book clubs are a great way to meet geeky, interesting people, but not a great way to read serious literature. I may seem pretentious, but I was definitely more interested in highbrow book clubs. Although I didn't want to hurt my friends feelings, I soon stopped coming quite as often to his reading group.
My favorite book clubs are the ones that switch it up with every different read. Although book clubs like this are hard to find, they are not impossible. I like to have a combination of modern reading and the classics, a combination of male and female authors, and even some foreign literature to spice things up a bit. I tried some large book clubs, but I have always thought that the best size for group was three to four people. As long as everyone is dependable and willing to come every week, small book clubs are better because everyone has a greater influence over what is read, and what direction the group takes.
