I think we've discussed this before, but it never got off the ground, so to speak.

Anyone interested in picking a book and then discussing it? Like one or two a month or something like that?

They have a book club here in the woods, but it meets days.

Back in the day, I'd have loved to do that. These days, I get to read almost "nada." I steal about twenty minutes a day while I'm eating lunch. Takes phorever to phinish a book that way! I'm DYING to read SPOL (my brother gave it to me for Xmas) but I HAVE to phinish the one I'm into now..... GRRRR...

In short, I can't participate myself, but I'm all for it other people want to. :D If not many people are interested, mayhaps it could be done simply via emails instead of the discussion board? Just a thought. :wink:

I need a book on how to move 2200 miles away and decide on what to take and what to get rid of without having remorse :lol: :lol:

Sounds like a great idea and I wish I had the time to join in.

Doesn't matter much to me WHAT we read. I'm open to new genres. Someone could pick a book, we could all read it and then discuss it. Maybe just once a month, so those that don't have much time could participate.

Our library's really good about getting "little, unknown" books for me and they end up being quite popular after they're reviewed, etc.

I think it would be phun. :D

I'll propose one.

BRIDGE OF BIRDS.

It's my all time favorite book on the planet. Found it in 1984. Have read it at least once a year ever since and have given away more copies than I care to count. Check out the reviews on amazon.com. And, forget the categorization. I don't read fantasy, but the book is classified that way.

Or we could start with ASPOL, being how many of us have recently read/are reading it.

Just a couple of suggestions.
