Nope. Just my bad old self that tells the same stories every time. I’m like a well-worn book!

What!?

You don’t bring books to parties with you *already*???

I’m shocked and appalled!

Am I the… only one, then?

Hmm.

Maybe I should bring a book to every party. It could be a great conversation starter:

“Hey, you, what’s with the book?”

And a great conversation ender:

“Oh, this? It’s so I don’t have to talk to you”

I need to carry an emergency copy of Grapes of Wrath with me.

Orwell not a nice guy? Are you still holding that attempted rape of his first girlfriend against him?

I thought everyone read at parties. You just pick up the first book laying around and start. It is especially useful when someone you don’t want to deal with tries to engage you in conversation.

What? Library? Who, me?

Ah, the precious memories of blogland. Google won’t tell me if Vicki’s got anywhere with the club.

You checked out a book out of the library, didn’t you? Didn’t you?

Boy that Victoria Beckham link at the bottom brings back memories. I wonder if that book club ever got started?
