Brittney's Questions

Do you think that relationships affect you more than the local culture?

What contributes to your happiness? family and gratitude?

What detracts from your happiness? Money? That something/someone you stubbornly envy?

Do you think happiness is a choice? Or is it mainly determined by our environment? Or anything else?

You can do one of two things with these questions.  If you just have a brief comment you can go ahead and leave comment.  The second option is to create a post if you have a longer response.  I will email everyone the username and password for tonight, and then eventually I will just make you all team members or something so you can post under your own account if you wish.

Yay for Brittney B.!

Brittney volunteered to pick the first book and lead the discussion.  Thanks to everyone who put in their two cents.  I like Brittney's idea of coming up with discussion questions and posting/emailing them to all members.  We definitely need to have a deadline.  I am thinking November 30 is a nice, clean date since it is the last day of the month.

So here's November's book:

Go to the library or bookstore and pick this one up and read with us!  The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner.

Two more items:
1. Brittney suggested a mass chat the night of the deadline for anybody that can make it.  Does anybody know how to do that?  Do have to get a chat room 90's style?
2. Any volunteers to pick December's book?

Happy Reading!

Ideas

So, we finally got this thing up.  Kenna is going to work her magic to make it look awesome.

I've never been invited to join a book club, so here I am.  I am glad that a lot of my friends were interested in all of this.  I have to admit, I don't know what I am doing.  I just like to read and talk about books with buddies.

I have a list of books I want to read, but what about you guys?  This isn't MY book club, it's OURS.  And I am wondering how it should work.  Should we take turns picking?  Should we take a vote every month?  What will our posts be about?  Will people have "jobs" like coming up with discussion questions? Please post your comments with your thoughts about these questions, and forgive me for being a newbie!
