NO CO-ED READING ALLOWED :

Book clubs are nothing to do with reading : They are just get-togethers for sad middle-class women (Jenny Colgan, May 3, 2002, The Guardian)

I imagine men going to book groups to be about as honest as Hugh Grant going to single mother's groups and anyway, I don't want a man who cried at The Shipping News - I want a man who reads Practical Mechanic!

If you want to see why a straight man can't be in a book group with women, check out the coflicting reviews here, from my failed attempt to participate in one. Posted by Orrin Judd at May 17, 2002 1:03 PM
