ALL Book Club

[flaneur]

A forum search revealed that the idea had been previously brought up, but I don't think it ever happened. Anyway, I'd be willing to organize this so that it can happen. If you don't know how it works, we read a book - each chapter in X amount of time - while discussing it in a thread. It usually ends up to around one book per month.

Those of us who like to read will be able to share our enthusiasm with other ALL members; those of us who aren't exactly voracious readers will, hopefully, find the club motivating.

If you'd be willing to participate (and not give up after two days!), leave a comment. I also recommend nominating books you'd like for us to read. If the interest is there, I will make another thread with the list of top nominations so we can vote on the first book. After that, we would be good to go.

Ha, I was waiting to see what the response was before I committed

I could enjoy a book club but I wonder if I would enjoy reading a chosen book that didn't appeal. Depends on what the title was I guess as to whether I would opt in?

Still a good suggestion though, to hell with the illiterates!

I always liked the idea of a book club, but as per other posts, what do you do if the book isn't a subject of interest?

I think the idea is it makes you read things you naturally wouldn't. Though yeah I'm super picky so its also one of the reasons I've shyed away from joining a book club, despite always wanting to in the hope I meet an intellectual guy in glasses and fall madly in love.

Er I'm also scared because I cant pick things apart and discuss them. I have very simplistic emotional responses to things.

Maybe you can practice with us annik. We wont get mad at you if you choose to stop at any point
