For our November Book Club we go out to lunch and then to the Book Store. I decided to "livin" up our time together. Not that it isn't always fun anyway getting with these ladies....it is. I just felt like being silly....I like silly. (I'm not sure Shanna likes silly but she went along with us anyway) I love my Book Club. I have learned so much from these very smart and educated ladies. I have been exposed to so many wonderful books and I really enjoy reading. (we missed Suzie & Loretta today)
I have traveled to different parts of the world and experienced many different cultures and have even traveled to and from time in my readings. Oh the places and experiences you can have while reading a book. I enjoy a variety of books now since our book club.....I believe I am even smarter. (of course I am....look at me!)
Reading is great and lunches are too but without all my friends, I'm not sure what I'd do. (that just came to me ...so funny)
I bought a few new books today. Taryn, my cute friend from bowling recommended "Infidel" to me and so I got that. After buying it I thought.... that was dumb.....I'd much rather buy used books on line.....I don't think I was wearing my "smart" glasses when I made that decision.
I also bought Ellen Degeneres book...."Seriously....I'm Kidding". I read the back and that sold me. Here is what it says on the back cover: "Oh, hi. I'm so glad you decided to turn the book over. As you probably know, this is normally where authors put nice quotes from fancy people praising their book. I'm a little uncomfortable with that. If feels like a gimmick to get people to buy it and I don't believe in cheap tricks like that. Besides, I know you're way too smart and beautiful to fall for that kind of stuff.
Actually, I think you're so wonderful I thought I would use this space to praise you. Yes, that's right. You. Here are some of the nice things I have to say about you:
"That is a beautiful blouse you're wearing. It goes so nicely with this book."
"I love the way you're holding this book. It's like you were born to buy it and hold it forever."
"(GASP)" as I notice your beauty for the first time.
"You're my favorite reader. Ever, of all time. Shhh....... don't tell the other readers." "
So IT worked.....I bought the book! Just to make sure things are clear.....Kathy did NOT buy the "naked" book. It was just for that special Kodak moment is all. (it really is special right?)
