Have you ever lost the ability to participate in something you are passionate about?
I lost a lot of them after suffering a spinal cord injury. I loved golfing, hiking in nature, traveling, grabbing a bite to eat, and much more.
One thing I maintained was reading. I now listen to audiobooks exclusively because I cannot hold a book. Non-fiction is my preference in 3/4 of my readings. I primarily read genres in self development, tragedies, humor, and inspirational.
I tried looking for a virtual book club recently but couldn’t find one. I have an Audible Account and listen to audiobooks. I thought it would be a fun way to connect with the community.
My search fell in vain. I could only find in person meetings, which wasn’t feasible for me because of my condition.
I had a recent phone conversation with my friend Amy Brannon, who was reading a book that sounded interesting. We read it simultaneously and discussed it over the phone.
It was invigorating so I suggested we start a little book club, which I will call the Wolfpack of Two. We are currently reading Following Atticus, about a man who discovers himself hiking the mountains in New Hampshire during the winter with his 20 pound dog named Atticus. It’s the dog that helps open his eyes to new possibilities. I’m looking forward to discussing this with Amy after finishing it.
