(This post should be prefaced with the fact that the book was ---- umm, a "mermaid" book)
A couple of weeks prior to last night's meeting, I was talking to my neighbor Kathy about the book (which I had not started). She told me that she "had a hard time getting into it" and she did not care for the sci-fi genre. I told her I needed to start reading it ASAP so I could finish the book before our meeting.
For the good of the club, I did make one more attempt to read the book.
I don't really have words to describe what happened next, but it went something like this.
The book.
It was illustrated.
Random page.
Subject matter: Mermaid birthing
This prompts me to want to throw the book off the balcony.
Things just went downhill from there.
PS. I fessed up to the fact that I did not read the book (blaming it on the genre) but mentioned that I really liked the pictures.
PPS. I declined to mention my photo shoot.
