病起萧萧两鬓华， 卧看残月上窗纱。 豆蔻连梢煎煮水， 莫分茶。
枕前诗书闲处好， 门前风景雨来佳，终日向人多酝藉， 木樨花。
《山花子》 李清照
有谁不言老? 有谁不觉诗书好？
四十岁时，若谷和阿尤相约每年读两本畅销书。图书馆的畅销书限期14天，而且不可以续借，往往读不完就还了，为了不辜负自己的诚意和誓言，不得不再借一此，后来索性买书来读，数年不曾间断。
恍惚间，若谷见四十五岁飘然将至。春寒料峭之日，巧遇酷爱读书的邻居在读mindset(终身成长)一书，不免有些感慨。当晚便与潇潇提及：“待到他日空巢时，定要加入读书会，没有就成立一个。”
几日后，若谷看到新多了一个微信群：美月读书会。眼睛那时还没花，但不仅擦了又擦，原来潇潇把将来搬到了今朝，若谷因此提前五年加入了这个温情暖意的群体。历时近五年，读书会依然相伴相形。借此新年到来之际，分享一下历来读书：
