Book Club

The WRIB Book Club had its first meeting on Jan. 26, 2006. The initial group consisted of 13 (lucky!) women who were WRIB members with a purpose. We wanted to provide an opportunity and venue for WRIB members to share their love of reading, meet like-minded women, and have fun socializing. 

With each turning page of the months and years to follow, we discovered that some of us were more serious about reading than others, but we all shared a keen interest in hearing about the books, discussing the ideas raised in what we read, and enjoying each other's company as we laughed and ate.

For the past four years, we've met erratically, but approximately once a month. Our reading list is eclectic, ranging from classics to bestsellers to graphic novels to whatever catches our interest. Our genres have included fiction, memoir, and self-help, among others. If there is a movie connected to the book (e.g. The Reader), we try to see the film. If there's a play connected to the book, we go to the theatre, as we did for Lysistrata and Bear With Me.

We're a lively, intelligent group of women who enjoy the friends we've made along the way. In the beginning, as they say, was the Word, and now there is the WRIB Book Club to read it.
