I consider myself an avid reader... a book worm, if you will. So, naturally, the idea of book club appealed to my compulsive need to pick up a book and ravenously devour it. Last year, I became more involved in book club towards the second semester and this year I'm helping the chair with organizing meetings and posting updates on the Facebook page. This position holds quite a bit of responsibility and demands a lot of organization on my part. A week before our first meeting, I met with Ms. Zents and we set up a basic, foundation schedule as well as the order of the chosen books we'll be reading this semester.
Book Club allows me to expand on my opinions of literature as well as share them with an audience. These meetings occur once every three to four weeks to allow enough time for everyone to read the chosen book. I hope to overcome my fear of speaking in public and sharing my opinion on subjects because I am quite reserved and will only reluctantly speak up when badgered and pressured into divulging an opinion. As a club, we hope to persuade more students to join, not only because we serve delicious food during our meetings, but because books are worth reading.
