Book Clubs

I have wanted to join a book club. I seldom take the time to read, though I love it. But, bifocals and having trouble sitting still make reading a luxury. Recently I was able to join a book club through our synagogue. We had family reading sessions, as part of encouraging our daughter to read. The first book, "The Bee Season", was about one of my favorite things -- spelling bees. Did you happen to catch the documentary from a few years ago called "Spellbound?"
The book club was low key, which is good as I am shy about sharing my thoughts or having to lead the discussion. Others had a different insight into the book. A movie has been filmed for this book, starring Richard Gere, whom I do not envision in the role. The books are on Jewish themes, mostly fiction, with a few non-fiction thrown in. Our next book is "Miriam's Kitchen", which I have started reading. I don't really like it so far, always judging a book by how I like the first 3 pages. I will try to get through it. The fellow book group people say the egg salad recipe is wonderful. It entails frying onions and mushrooms, then chopping them up with the hard-boiled eggs. It sounded really yucky to me, but perhaps it was due to the fact I read it late at night. The book after this is one that I may not even attempt to read as I think it will give me nightmares. Is there a "light and fluffy" book club anywhere?
