I've recently became part of a guys book club and having never been part of one before, I didn't know what to expect. My initial perceptions were not what I experienced. Rather than a boring meeting talking about the finer points of sentence structure, it's filled with good laughs, stories, politics and sometimes talking about the book. Suffice it to say that our "discussions" are wide ranging. I can't divulge any more information otherwise...well you know.

Joining a new group of guys always has its' rituals and dynamics which is fun and fascinating. Putting a bunch of us together with beer, pizza and salad can be a dangerous thing sometimes but it is always enjoyable. And the books we read so far are pretty good. The latest, Destiny of the Republic, which is about Garfield's short presidency was fantastic. And the insights gained from the other guy's perspectives are fascinating.

It also forces me to read a book that's not business related, which I haven't done in years. There's nothing like reading a great book. Have you read any lately?
