The Side Effects of Endorphins

My knee jerk reaction is no. If a book is not worth reading we as readers abandon ship. That is unless we are assigned to read a book.

I guess that is what book club is all about. Our böök club has been together for 18 years and I have read all but one. Other members have similar statistics.

I am sitting in the doctors office reading our book this month. It is Hippopotamus by Steven Fry. I regret picking the book, as our intention of book club is that the book is readily available, I had a hard time finding this book. However, I have a copy and it is off to a great start.

I am hemming and hawing (whatever that means) as I can’t remember regretting reading a book.

But here is an obscure example. I am not a fan of the iconic Canadian band Rush. We read Neil Peart‘s book Ghost Rider. He talked about a motorcycle ride across the US and Canada. He died soon after this book came out. He was a tremendous human being and the book was great. I still can not listen to Rush and that bums me out, because I want to like them so much,

The band is back together and the new drummer is a German woman. I want to like Rush that much more.

I heard Fly By Night on the local radio station the other day. I enjoyed hearing it.
