To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful,
ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry.
~ Gaston Bachelard ~

The flow of language...

That's what books are aren't they? Words put together into a sentence that makes sense, sentences combined in paragraphs, soon the paragraphs become pages, page after page turns into a book - a flow of language.

So for this book club I hope we can better understand the flow of language that a book provides by reviewing it after we read it and hearing different opinions on it. I'm excited about this, and am putting lots of enthusiasm and effort forward, so hopefully soon we will have a functioning book club!
