I'm living in Philadelphia for the year because my wife has a fellowship at Penn, and what this often means is that after we put the kids to bed, I get into the car and drive up the Jersey Turnpike to join a group of women (Why aren't there more men in book groups? I've visited a few coed book groups, but those have been few and far between. Perhaps the bigger question is why don't more men read fiction?) to discuss MATRIMONY. If the group is too far away, I'll often participate by phone. In fact, I just tonight finished a really good discussion on the phone with a book group in Wellesley, Mass. I'll write more about visiting book groups in the coming days, as well as some other things, but for now I wanted to mention the growing phenomeon of online book clubs, a number of which I've been participating in. I'm right now in the midst of a long and interesting discussion of MATRIMONY at Mothertalk, and MATRIMONY was recently selected by the online book club at Ladies Home Journal as its book of the month for March, and that discussion is getting under way too.
