Still posting over at EQUIP book club

I'm still posting over at the EQUIP book club. I don't generally blog a lot of book reviews, so it's been interesting trying to work this out. There seems to be a balance between a post that stands alone in some way, and a post that would make no sense at all if you are not actually reading the book (which is how today's post turned out). And I think a book club is different to a book review as well. You have to assume that people are actually reading along, so you don't want to tell people what's in a chapter, and you don't want to just reword or quote too much of the material. And I have to keep telling myself that this is a discussion of this particular book, it's not my own exhaustive essay on all the issues to do with singleness, but that is harder without too much interaction. I'm finding writing about singleness in public has moments of stress: it's very personal, it's a little controversial, people can be very mad or very upset about it (and there haven't been a lot of comments, and I didn't really expect to flush a whole lot of single women out of the woodwork, so I don't really know if people out there are either of those two things). But it's been good to think and work through it all. I have gathered up a few questions on the topic, which I think will appear here soon.

Poetry Friday is coming later today. I can't load up pictures onto blogger at work, and I just like poems to have a picture, so I'll do it later.
