Hi all,

I posted this as a facebook note, but it seems like there's interest in it, and I'd like to extend the invite to the community of book-reading, fire-spinning ladies. Details about a hang-out time will follow- I'd like to hear your input about when you'd like to meet.

So I just picked up this new book, Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins. I've heard some pretty positive things about it. I love sharing the things I read with people, and am wondering if anyone might also be interested in reading the book and meeting afterward for cof-tea, pastries of sorts and book talk. Let me know if there's any interest...I figure that we must do something during these gross winter months, and a book-club might be fun. Anyways, let me know if you're interested (and if so, how long we should give it before meeting). If you're not up for this book, but wanna start a winter book club that would be great, too.

I'd be open to making it a co-ed dealio, but (as some of you have recently heard in rant-form) there are many situations for stereotypical male-male and male-female bonding w/in the spinning community and not as much gal time. When I hang out w/ the spinning community, I see this gender divide in which there are a lot of strong male bonds, but not as many sisterly bonds...which may also have to do w/ the sometimes too many suggestive in-community undertones. Point is, there's a lot of really awesome women in the Boston area and it would be really great to start to create a community of ladies. For now, I'm off to a bubble bath and am gonna start reading!
