I used to read multiple books and am hoping that a book club will help kick start that love all over again. I'd love to.meet up in a coffee shop, open to most genres. Find military, science fiction.and fantasy harder to get into

The only author who can make me laugh out loud!), Mother Tongue (Bryson), An Astronauts View of Earth (Hadfield), The Otterbury Incident (C. Day Lewis. Yes, it's a kids book, but I still love it), The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving A F++k (Knight), Black Spirits &White (Adams Cram), Bukowski (Bukowski!), Nothing To Envy (Demick), The Experiments (Todd), The Body (Bryson. Such an interesting book), and I've just started, Not The End Of The World (Ritchie). I've been thinking of joining a book club for ages, so here goes.
