I was feeling childish yesterday, and I responded to a post on Craigslist. Originally, someone made a post, asking if anyone in the area would be interested in starting a book club. They subject line of the post was, "Book Club!" Nothing seemed amiss with the post, and it came across as being from a reasonably intelligent and thoughtful person. A couple hours later, someone responded to the original post with this:
Book Club?
I would question the posting of anyone who puts an exclamation point at the end of the heading "Book Club."
For those interested in reading quality literature, let me give you a prediction as to what this group will be about: they will read exclusively from Oprah's List (which means basically crap), they will be married women who will talk about what they are reading for about 10 minutes, and then spend the rest of the evening bitching about their husbands.
The idea of an intellectually stimulating book club in Albuquerque is ridiculous.
( and how i found myself discussing punctuation with an stranger via e-mail )
