QUOTE (dweezil @ Nov 12 2005, 09:02 PM) First, my opinion here doesn't matter.
Yes, it does Dweez. A lot. Sometimes you make it hard for people to respect what you say, but on the few occasions you let your guard down, what you have to say is clearly intelligent, well thought out and relevant.
QUOTE Second, even if it did, as I have agreed with Mr. Rosso, it's too much like English class.
I read books for my enjoyment, not to debate the content.
I don't know how other education systems work, but here we tended to read solely to gain points for exams. When reading and studying, I never considered what the author meant or what the relevance or not of the book was, I studied with one question foremost in my head.
"What's going to get me an A or a B?"
The whole idea of a book club is to revisit books and study them not for an exam, or for a teacher, or for a parent, but for yourself.
I'm in.
