I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 39: Madame Bovary
Today I had planned on going to a book club meeting for the book "Madame Bovary." The problem was that I hadn't yet finished the book. I still had about 40 pages left. And I usually dislike going to a book club when I haven't completely finished the book (especially if it's fiction) because of spoilers. But I decided to go anyways, even though I had failed to finish the book.
Result: I'm really glad I went. It's one of my favorite book clubs, and I had a lot of fun :-) I did get some spoilers about the end, but it was worth the comaraderie.
