book club

Lately, I've had a hard time finishing a book. I could give you a list of excuses---too much work, the desire to zone out and listen to my ipod on the subway, greater interest in the New Yorker and New York magazine, onward and onward---but really, I guess the books I've been reading just aren't compelling enough for me to read compulsively (my typical state of reading). I wonder if I need a book club to keep me going. Tim and I have been saying for years that we want to read Proust's SWANN'S WAY together, but would it be easier to just try reading THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO?
