ok this is my turn so I have chosen this book. Fore-warning, this can be a depressing book and it is not an easy read but it is in my opinion a brilliant book and one I read in one day. Please if you dont feel up to reading it then just say so and I wont be offended. From now we can discuss books in a new topic each month, that makes things abit simpler. Regards, Alec

Just ordered a v cheap copy _)_

Anyone started on the book yet?
-
I got it this morning so will take a look later :)
-
ok Zaf. No one else seems to be responding. Is it worth running the book club still? People dont seem interested
-
It does seem a lot of people have dropped out, perhaps post something in the Lounge to ask?

Book club sounds great idea!!!
I am not well enough to be able to fully "read for pleasure" (although I have been reading more books on depression / by people with depression than you could think of haha recently! Talk about obsessing over being depressed and depression seriously!!!). But give me a bit more time and I'll want to read the books you guys are reading too!!!
-
It would be great to rekindle interest in the book club bookletters, its been a bit abandoned recently
-
Shame!!!
-
I think its partly because it was summer and that several members found themselves feeling worse so couldnt concentrate to read :(
-
I know that's always annoying!! Silly illness!
Just read some of the "new members" introduction and had to focus on the worst case scenario as I do. Member who says "I used to get depression every 2-3 years, now I seem to be getting it every 3 months".... well because I am not feeling at my best, I have just had to tell hubby about this as I am now seriously ruminating "what if this happens to me too and it gets worse and worse/ How am I going to cope?"...... eeeekk honestly, I hate when I do this!
Am I the only one who worries about these things or does it happen to all of us as part of the black dog bite??
-
I think it happens to the majority of us :(

Thanks Zaff, think I need to go do some gardening or something to take my mind off things as I am brooding too much when one my own surfing the internet!!!!!
Warm hugs to everyone xx
-
I certainly worry that it will return and be worse :( S x x x x
-
Thanks Shaz. I think it is part of me not being out of the woods yet because I can normally be very calm about this and just think "don't think about it!" and it goes away :)
I have always been spoilt by medication working stupidly fast for me so this one draaaaaagging is causing me lots of worry which adds to the the depression itself!
Still, I am better for sure or I would be in bed not wanting to switch laptop on!!!
-
The book club is a really good idea, but I know that for me personally, my reading has been massivley effected by this horrible illness. Its the time when it'd be really nice to be able to escape into a good book for a while, but no.... ::)
I always worry when I'm well that it's going to come back and then when it does come back I worry that it won't ever go....

I think we're all the same Munchroom both with the reading and worrying it will come back when we feel better

Can I still be part of the book club even though I was away over the summer? My passion for reading is back with a vengeance, seems a shame to waste it!

You certainly can maddy but its sort of been suspended due to lack of interest, if we can find half a dozen people wanting to ressurect it we can give it another go

Ok, looking forward to it :-) x
