Is that a club for books to congregate?
I would just like to say a little bit about this class before it is officially over. I initially took this course because I needed a humanities GER, and had exhausted most other options already. As I look back now, I used to try to avoid reading like the plague. In addition to everyone’s great discussions in class, and the ability to say that I’ve read X amount of books this year, I really feel like my outlook on reading in general has changed. I don’t think that I have ever actually wanted to read since maybe 5th grade lol. I really did enjoy the final project. My mom is in a book club back home that meets like once every two weeks. I always used to laugh at her and wonder why she would waste time reading when there were “better” things to be done. After doing the final project, which was very similar to my mom’s book club, I think I understand why she participates. A book club is kind of like a mini version of our class. I know that a lot of people have been saying that they are sad to have the course end, because they enjoyed reading throughout the weeks. If I was in a book club, it would be like class all the time, but without the stress of a grade attachment haha. Anyway, I just thought that I would bring this up. If any of you still need to post comments, let me know if you agree with my sentiments, or if you just think I am lame for saying I’d join a book club lol.

Our course was very much like a book club--I've participated in a few in the past, but is was great to focus on books on a more intense level. Three days a week for a book club may seem much to some, but I think you all had excellent insights and even made connections between books and films that made this course so very worth it. I'm glad your love of reading has been rekindled!
