Thank you for your notes Donna! I have been saying I want to join a book club for awhile. I get selfish though and want to pick books based on my mood. BUT, what would be better, for my personal growth - is reading books that others pick out too. I have had A Lesson Before Dying in my possession for years but never finished! Maybe I'll pick up again with your motivation. Obama published a "thank you librarians" Medium piece very recently that touches on the points you have made.
