Book Club
Reading is a simple pleasure. There is nothing quite like losing oneself in a captivating story or being challenged when learning something new. So give yourself up to this simple pleasure. Slow down, pick out a good book, maybe that bestseller you’ve been meaning to read, a classic you’ve always wanted to try or that non-fiction item your friend was suggesting. Settle down in your favourite chair or curl up in that couch corner, crack open the covers and immerse yourself. … Then take the second step to enhancing this simple pleasure: join a book club!
