Kellie Pickler Book Club

Original Paragraph:

Kellie Pickler's tour bus should come with a warning sign. "We brake for bookstores!" says the bubbly country singer. "If we pass one, I tell my driver, 'Let's pull in there.' " Now the avid reader has found a way to get her literary fix at home too. She recently started a club with three close friends: Aimee Mayo, a songwriter, and singers Rachel Reinert of Gloriana and Hilary Williams (Hank Jr.'s daughter). Their meetings are all about "good girlfriends and snacks!" says Reinert. And, of course, a little lively conversation. "We don't just talk about books," says Pickler, "but we always spend time talking about the book." On Dec. 17 the group met at Mayo's Nashville home to dine and discuss The Help (see their review on next page). Pickler and Mayo share a 100-page rule. "If I'm bored by then, I won't finish it," says Mayo. "It's like a song," adds Pickler. "If the chorus sucks, you don't listen to the rest." So far, this club is in perfect harmony. "Everyone gets something different out of a book," says Mayo. "What makes a book club great...you can share your perceptions and get even more out of it than you would if you had read it by yourself."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To me, articles like this are a little too confusing to read because they are over punctuated with too many quotes and parentheses. The writer also starts one of the sentences with "and". This is not a desirable way to start a sentence. The whole paragraph doesn't have much to it, just tells what the girls think about books and what they like to do. Personally, this was sort of a boring article to read. I guess if you were looking for ideas on how to do a book club it might interest you, but otherwise it's not too great.
