Our book club is very casual. We chat about the book. Sometimes we have a lot to discuss and it’s very interesting, sometimes we don’t so we talk about other books we’ve read that we really enjoyed. If I take notes I do take them to the meeting. You can attend even if you don’t like the book or if you didn’t even try it; if they object to that maybe it’s not the group for you (I wouldn’t like that, though I usually read the books even when they don’t look interesting to me). Go ahead and attend and see how you like it, and how you like that particular group. No one in my book club likes every book every month, but if this group never picks anything you like that might be another reason to try a different group - although I have to say that one thing I like about being in a book club is it makes me read things I would not have picked myself, and I’ve ended up loving a lot of those!!
