Conversations of a book club

We held the first book club for 2015 here at The Open Door last week and the book up for discussion was ‘'The Rosie Effect' by Graeme Simsion.

Nine of us gathered, most having read the book (one of us was still in its midst & another was waiting to hear our reviews to see if she would take it on) and an hour long discussion ensued.

There was as surprising range of topics covered in that hour and if you didn't know we were a 'book club' you might not have guessed if you were a fly on the wall!

Love, dedication, mental health issues, how to cope with them, pregnancy, promiscuity, artwork, how we arrange our wardrobes, and our work spaces - well, we seemed to cover a lot of topics...

And all of this from one 350 plus page book about impending fatherhood by a wonderful Australian author.

 It is amazing what happens when a group of like-minded people come together and share ideas and opinions: friendship blossoms. And best of all we get to do it all again next month after reading 'Bitter Greens' by another Aussie author, Kate Forsyth.

Happy reading
