It turned out that her book was quite provocative for our group and no one has forgotten her visit. We also will meet at the local theater if a book we have read has been made in to a movie. We recently met to see Where the Heart Is . I would suggest to another group to have as few rules as you can. We do not even require a member to read the book in order to attend.
Guests are also welcome.
I think our group is lucky in that we have had one leader that has kept the group together for nine years. We have had a number of people die who belonged to our group. Some of the women were old but others were not so old. Currently we have a member with lung cancer who will not be with us long. We have become a support group to one another.
