I have been reading fiction that doesn&#8217;t require my full brain to be in gear.  Sometimes I find myself re-writing a book as I read it&#8230;.guessing where the author may be going, and writing my own version in my mind.<br \/>\nI went to my computer when I came home, and I have the 16 books from the <a href=\"http:\/\/wgnradio.com\/shows\/kathy_judy\/radioreaderstourney.htm\">Kathy &#038; Judy book club<\/a> on WGNRadio in Chicago, as well as six of the books from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oprah.com\/obc_classic\/obc_main.jhtml\">Oprah book club<\/a>.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m looking for other suggestions to bring to the table the first night we meet.<br \/>\nWhat would YOU want to read if you were starting a book club?<br \/>\nI would prefer not to read technical manuals, Cop Car.  And, I&#8217;d rather read fiction than non-fiction, but I could be persuaded to change my mind on that choice.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m wondering just what to expect.  Will I find people who talk about the author&#8217;s craft in writing the story?  Will some of the members compare the book to what&#8217;s happening in their life?  Will others want to delve into character development?  I haven&#8217;t a clue as to what to expect!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend from exercise suggested today that we should start a book club.
