WELCOME: READING GROUPS

Tell us about your reading group

Hearing someone discuss your book or read a favorite line aloud with others is a writer's dream. It is such an honor to hear from reading groups like yours who have had valuable and formative discussion because of one of my books. I love reading groups, and wish I could visit with all you. Since that's just not possible, I've created this section for reading groups and book clubs to build a profile-I'd like to hear about who you are and how you came together, and about your discussions of my books. Once one member (one only, please!) has registered your group, please head to the message board to share ideas and advice about hosting an event.
Please stay in touch!
Warm regards,
Mitch Albom

Book Club Mamas

Holland, PA

We came together the summer of 2002 as a group of moms that wanted to have opportunities to talk about things other than the experiences of being new mothers. We decided we wanted to read books that brought us places we hadn't been or had us experiencing things outside of our experiences. Now, after 7 1/2 years, we're still going strong. Have a Little Faith will be our next selection to kick off 2010. I look forward to the reading and discussion!

CFJRJAMS

January 11, 2010 Dear Mitch, It has been a huge blessing reading your book, Tuesdays with Morrie. Thank you for writing it! Our group's name is CFJRJAMS. We are a group of 16 women in our early 40's, scattered around the world, who have been reconnected through FaceBook after 25 yrs. We all chose TWM as our first book to read as a shared activity and discussions occur in our FaceBook TWM thread. It will be an honor if you could write us a short e-mail because we have become big fans of you and Morrie. Thank you very much. Sincerely, CFJRJAMS

Daughters of Abraham

Flushing, MI

Daughters of Abraham is a group of Muslim, Jewish and Christian women who meet monthly to explore their religious faiths through books. Through the discussions, insights and relationships that grow out of the book group meetings, we learn about the commonalities and differences found in Islam, Judaism and Christianity and develop an interfaith community of women who can speak intelligently about the Abrahamic Faiths. By naming ourselves Daughters of Abraham we are saying that there is more holding us together than separating us and that we are committed to building relationships among us.

reConnect

Amarillo, TX

Sometimes it is hard to get a reading group started, and time-wise it is hard to get everyone together in one place at one time. Come to www.reconnectgroups.com and join a coterei (an exclusive circle of people with a common purpose) to read and dialogue about a book. It is free, and available 24/7 to fit everyone's schedule. You can invite all the members, or open it up to anyone who wants to read that book. Try it!
