A short black sleeveless dress, black kneehigh leather boots, black pantyhose and a sexy burgundy scarf will be my attire when I go clubbing tonight for the second time in four days – book clubbing that is. Even bookworms need a social life and sometimes bookworms splurge on a babysitter to discuss a rather mediocre book, not once but twice. Truthfully, Garth Stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain is really not worth all the trouble, but it just happens to be the book that our dog friendly community selected for its version of a One Book, One City program. So, Stein’s arrival in town is the Book Club Mamas’ excuse for a night on campus in our college town. Wearing nice clothes, eating delicious food, and having splendid drinks are my primary motives, but if the author actually looks like his picture on the back of his book, the talk could be riveting too.
Oh, the nightlife of a clubbing bookworm…
