I think I broke up with my book group. Once again, I hadn't read the book. I guess I wasn't prioritizing this particular group, so I think it's my way of saying goodbye. Sabotaging the relationship, so to speak. This was the spirituality book group--and I wasn't feeling very spiritual about the books. We'd read a couple that just didn't grab me or move me in any way, so I sort of stopped putting effort into it. This selection is The Power of Myth and I didn't even bother to open it. I think I knew my time with the group was over. Besides, for a group of six people, we'd never had a meeting with everyone present. I'm going to miss having a definite date in my calendar--I liked us being the First Saturday Group. But that isn't enough for me to keep up with the group.
I've still got my school book group going, though, and I'm really looking forward to the selections for that.
I feel guilty and liberated.

Don't feel bad! I have never understood book groups. My relationship with each book I pick up is so personal -- either they grab me or they don't. Finding a book that will grab a half dozen people seems unreasonable, doesn't it?
I hope you officially sever the tie and mark that off your things to do list. Then I predict you'll read more and enjoy more, too.
