Just some thoughts...

I just wanted to say how much I value book club. Not to say that I value it more than anyone else, because I don't. It just means the world to me, that's all. To be able to discuss works of art like we do, in such a real, honest format is beautiful to me and so important. I crave the honest conversations with people who understand life and are willing to listen and express that understanding no matter what. I guess it is just one of the small aspects of my life that means the world, literally. I think of myself as a huge collosal fuck up and it's hard to be open and honest with people when you never know how they are going to respond. Truthfully, I love the books were reading alot, but I love the time spent together more. Also to be honest, I may be a bit drunk, but I've always been a believer that the feelings are always there, the liquor just helps release it easier. Anyway, I just want to say how glad I am to be apart of something special. As we come closer to July where we will have been a club for officially two years, I feel excited, rejuvenated that the future holds exciting things. It has been such a joy thus far, and I just want to convey how important you all are to me. I remember when Jordan was talking about reading a book called "Money and Power" and how he thought it would be cool to read it collectively and discuss our different thoughts on it. Little did we know that it would spawn a desire to not only read some of the greatest works man has conceived, but to discuss them together as a group that is brought together by our love for each other and for the pursuit of truth. I never knew books could enrich my life as much as they have. But what started as a cool idea has become something of vast importance to my life. So I just want to say thank you to you all. And thank you to you, Jordan, for sparking a collective endeavor to not only engage these works of art, but also engage each other in conversations so meaningful to our lives. Love you guys!!!
