Last spring I described my inability to find a book club where my book-freak ways were welcomed with open arms.
To recap my saga, I’d always joined groups where everyone was similar to me (as in, Jewish and around the same age). As a newcomer to the Twin Cities, I thought the groups I started or joined would be an easy way to make friends. Good idea for some people, but it didn’t work in my case.
To find out how I finally found the book club where I belong, read my article on TC Jewfolk.com “The Token Jew of My Book Club.” Yes, that’s really the title.
