Book clubssss

I realized a while back that, while moving to SF was wonderful, it did take away a good 40 minutes on BART every day for reading. So I joined a book club thinking I could kill 2 birds with one stone: read and meet people. Good idea, but then I sort of joined 3 more.

Up until now, I've never had too big a conflict. The meetings were spaced out or I'd already read a selection so I skippped it. Well, then the new year rolled around and I committed to reading 3 books concurrently. All good ones though! NERD ALERT!

Up first: Green Metropolis, why living closer together in urban cities is the most environmentally responsible. I'm halfway through and so far, I'm kind of meh on it. I mean, the author has good points but he also lives on a farm in upstate New York. So...maybe someone's a little preachy?

I started to read the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, but I know I'll need breaks while reading Great Expectations. The plan is to read both of those concurrently and hopefully make both end-of-February deadlines.
