The books that I like to read are philosophical type novels, Dostoevsky, Hesse, Mann, Simone De Beauvoir, etc. Currently I have just started with "The Idiot". Many times I found myself thinking about an idea or a situation from whatever current book I'm reading at the time and I have thoughts of how nice it would be to discuss that. Being in the technology field I don't find people that share my interest in these books & ideas; and my family is not much interested either. Although there have been ample opportunity to discuss "The Jersey Shore" or "The Kardashians" with my kids but I have managed to resist that temptation! I tease them about how those shows kill brain cells & they tease me about my books being for nerds. Actually they are very smart; I still can’t understand how they can watch this. Maybe it’s like a gory car accident.
I am happy to find the site. Hopefully I would like to find a small group to choose a book to read and discuss from beginning to end.
