Book club

To Siri with Love: A Mother, Her Autistic Son, and the Kindness of Machines - Judith Newman

I miss the book club I was part of before I moved to my current town. I've known for a while that there's a book club at the local public library, but I've always found out about their current reads way too late, only a day or two prior to their next meeting. Also, they have a tendency to choose books I wouldn't in a million years pick for myself.

But I'd love to go to book club meetings again. So I sent the public library a message, asking about the book club's next book. They have, unfortunately, chosen To Siri With Love by Judith Newman for their August meeting. Do I want to read a book in which the author states her wish to sterilize her autistic son when he turns 18? Not particularly. But I requested it via interlibrary loan anyway and will probably be giving it a go. ::sigh::
