The massage must have been even more of a succes
than I thought
because I fell asleep earlier yesterday than I had for a long time (11:30ish) 
and (after a short pause around 8
which seemed too early to be up on a Sunday) 
went on sleeping till 11:30

But this also means that I am not sleepy tonight
especially since I am harbouring ambivalent feelings about the book club
for a time today I felt that I really should not force my choice of books on all these people
most of whom hated this second one vehemently

this impression was later somewhat mitigated
by a few remarks on how good it is to have the book club
but I am still unsure

I feel that this list provides a good starting point
and if it were just about recommendations
then we couldn't ever decide what to read
but it may well be just plain stunbornness on my part
clinging to my idea
(then again, isn't that the natural way when one has an idea?)

and then, perhaps even more importantly
I have to once again face the fact
that I am hopelessly inadequate in literature
which is still a shame
even if not a novelty
however, I guess I'd better make peace with it
(with myself, to expand the issue a bit(?!) more)

Though I was one of the vehement ones, I still enjoyed the book club yesterday. Still thinking about the meeting and the text as well. So dont't worry. It is a great thing. And a starting point like the list you found is essential.

Tha book club is not about the books. It's about us. And it's great to gather, no matter the quality of the actual book.
