Actually I do know why I'm in a book group. Besides the free lunch every month, it gets me to read things I'd never have read otherwise. This month's book is a good example. I Don't Know How She Does It by Allison Pearson. The main character is a woman trying to judge a time-consuming career with motherhood of two small children. Definitely not my normal sort of book choice. Unusually for this sort of book I never wanted to through it across the room. I don't imagine, however, that the author's main goal had been to make me happy that I don't have children.
