Reading this article on the awfulness of book clubs made me think about how much I take B&B for granted.
| Quote: | | Reading is arguably the second-most intimate human activity, and, as with the first-most intimate human activity, there are people who will try to convince you that it’s better done in groups. These groups are called book clubs. I am in one. Maybe you are, too. If so, here’s why we’ve both made a terrible mistake. |

Even if I don't always love our book, I think B&B is quite consistently worth my time. I wouldn't mind if we had more opportunities to eat cheese though, as they apparently do in this author's book club. |

Yep. Cheese is the one thing that I could think of that would make B and B better...oh, and making it there early enough to get a seat.
AND choosing 'Ray of the Star' by Laird Hunt to read one month. Published by Coffee House Press, I'm only halfway through and I'm entranced. He's speaking at the Loft Literary Center on Monday night with Mary Caponegro at 7 p.m. (I don't know if there will be cheese there or not but it is free.) |

Thanks, guys. I am from Wisconsin. I can bring the cheese next time.
Get there early, though, as it will go fast. BLB is sure to have some cheesy goodness on their menu, too.
Shelly, I'll check out the book. Thanks. |

| I'm fairly certain BLB offers a cheese plate. |
