Every book club I’ve joined falls apart. Usually before the first book is even done. Now I have a couple of people I read and discuss the same book with occasionally.

Interesting, I have experienced more book clubs in the last 5 years than at any other time in my 40 years of life.
I am in multiple now.

Ive been drifting back to physical books over the last year. Was strictly eink Kindle for about 10 years or so, for convenience and space, and as I’ve gotten older its nice to be able to change the type size on the fly. But, I recently felt that I get more from a physical book. Like the spacial knowledge of “i know this quote was this 10mm into the book..” Kindle is easier to highlight stuff, press and drag, but then it also is out of sight, out of mind. I can look at my book and see all the postit flags.
That and you don’t get the serendipity of finding something you weren’t looking for wandering the Amazon Kindle “stacks” like you can in a book store.
Also learning about [BookOutlet.com](http://BookOutlet.com) recently has been murderous to my wallet.

Many of the book clubs in my area take place during the day, when most people are at work.

I have recently started reading daily again. Have a Kobo and love it, plus physical books. Not really a book club fan as I prefer to just read at my own pace.
