Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe might be the perfect novel for this point in the club. It seems that no matter how hard we try to shift things to make meetings more manageable with life, other things pop up. I can relate a bit with Okonkwo as he tries desperately to hang on to the way things have been. I'd love for book club to be as heavily attended as it has in the past, but, to quote John Lennon, "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans."
So, hang in there, everyone! We'll keep reading and meeting. Make it when you can. Definitely check out this month's read, though!
