Goodness! I’ve been on the internet for a lot of yesterday and have realised most of the Muslim bloggers I used to read way back when are now ex-Muslim and not blogging so much anymore. And I’m not talking about a just a couple – it’s an epidemic!!
I’ve started a bookclub. I know that I’m probably a few years late and everyone has moved on to crochet and knitting clubs but I’m hoping we have a few months of interesting conversation before everyone gets off the fad and moves onto something else. Plus, I’m hoping it rekindles my reading desire. Honestly – having children, even having a life nowadays means there is no time for anything let alone reading time. I’m not a literary snob by any means but I am not reading Eat Pray Love or any of the Twilight series. I’m all for broadening the reading horizons but that’s just taking things a bit too far.
Those who know where I live are welcome to come and join us – 8pm Friday night.
Book recommendations? Something polarising would be much appreciated.
Remember the one we used to have? With you, me and two of my work friends?!
I started one here again – we’re reading classics. This month we are reading two short novels by Leo Tolstoy (The Death of Ivan Ilyich, and Hadji Murad). They’re books I never would have picked myself but are actually quite good. Haven’t had a huge response (there are about 5 of us, but I think it’s better that way).
I still think you should read The Count of Monte Cristo, by the way.
I do remember but you and your workfriends spent a good deal of time talking about work! Which is understandable and not that uncommon I discovered as the other bookclub I joined with my workmates ended up being a huge long bitch about work (!)I left after two months.
Also, if the other members decide to read Moby Dick, I will NOT give it another go. BORING!
