Tenth Muse Thoughts


Feel free to jot down some thoughts in the comments to this post if you'd like to keep a record of things to discuss at our next meeting.

In search for some reading group guides, I came across some questions specific to memoirs. Some questions to ponder while reading:

  • Were there any instances in which you felt the author was not being truthful? How did you react to these sections?

  • What is the author's most admirable quality? Is this someone you would want to know or have known?


  • Looking for other interesting information about Judith Jones? Check out this October 30, 2007 blog post by Michael Ruhlman.

    Happy reading!

    Books selected

    As you can see, we've picked our books to read for the next three months. And it definitely looks like we've got an exciting assortment. We have two nonfiction books and one selection of short stories. I'll send out an email requesting gmail addresses or Blogger account names if you have any so that I can add you to this blog's author list. Feel free to email any suggestions for the blog or book club. Happy reading!

    First book club meeting!

    We'll be meeting tomorrow at Rangzen in Central Square. We'll pick books for the first several meetings and set up some ground rules for the book club. I'll post the next books to read here and open up the blog so that we can continue the book discussion after the meeting's over. Let's also use this site to discuss future meeting venues and list dates, times, and places. Happy reading!
