10. Half the participants are lonely old women, the other half are just there for the wine.
9. There's always one member who not only falls asleep, they snore.
8. Miss a few meetings, and they make you feel like you're going to Hell.
7. When interpretations vary, arguments follow.
6. Audible farts are inexplicably hilarious.
5. New members = potential mates.
4. No one's ever finished the book/The Book.
3. Donations are strongly encouraged, willfully withheld.
2. You're too chickensh*t to admit that you thought the book/The Book was boring.

This is a brilliant piece. I love it. I have twittered it and I just want to congraulate on a blog post that may go round the world.
Hilarious.
very funny! wish some of my book club members had your sense of humor!
Superb.
Thanks for brightening the day! I mentioned your post on NH's Reads-To-Go blog.
As an author who's visited over 150 book clubs in the last year and a half -- this is too funny
I'll link to it in my blog

Thanks for the laugh, I'll be sharing this.

So, is my book club the exception? Most of us are married and in our late 30s to late 40s, no new member (of which we've allowed only two in the last year) would be a potential mate because none of us is gay, no one falls asleep, most of us finish the book, and we don't take donations. Unless volunteering one's house for the next meeting counts.... :D
