Parting Ways
MinnPost is running an article about the reason people break up with their book clubs. According to an informal poll done by the author, most people leave because of toxic group dynamics, incompatible reading preferences, or a general lack of motivation. Here's my favorite quote from the article:
One man, for example, showed up to a meeting with a Popular Mechanics magazine and was dismayed to discover they didn't consider it potential reading material.
I'm fortunate that my book club has experienced zero drama to date. I attribute that to the thoughtful and respectful people who seem to gravitate towards the group. Or perhaps they are still working up the courage to end my petty tyranny.
