A Word about the Quote

One of our longtime club members suggested this week's quote to me, and I thought it was appropriate for the beginning of our 2010 club, as we are all deciding on this summer's reading goal for ourselves.  As much as we enjoy our summer reading, we are doing more than merely entertaining ourselves.  Keep in mind that the more we read, the more we are STILL learning.  Thank you, RjS, for the inspiring quote!

Here was the quote that week:

In midlife, it is tempting to succumb to the idea that because you have more years behind you than ahead, what you already know will carry you along.
~Jon Katz, from Running to the Mountain  

(And if this inspires you to increase your goal, just let me know!)
