[quote=Anonymous]Wow, I'm really surprised by the replies here. There was nothing rude in the asking; and there's nothing rude about saying no. "Book club" can mean anything from an organized group with speakers to wine moms who never crack the spine of a book, so your friend is fine for asking if it's open to new members. And you're fine for not wanting to change the dynamics of a group that have been close-knit for an exceptionally long time. Just say, "It's less of a formal book club than a chance for old friends to hang out. It's been this same little group for 16 years!" And then immediately suggest another social activity you can do together. [/quote]
