Bookkeeping (he he)

I can set the blog up to email you whenever a comment is posted to the entry. If you want this to happen, just let me know what email address you want it sent to.

Also, keep in mind that this is a group experiment: if you have any suggestions on the way anything is done, throw them out there.

First Post.

This seemed to be the most logical way to start this reading circle, book club, group.. what have you. First a few introductory type things:

If you have a better idea for the name of this page/group, by all means throw it out there, I picked the current one simply because creativity eluded me.

Leave a comment to let us know that you're in for the first book. In the comments of this post we should try and decide the length of time given for reading books, and other ground rules. My suggestions are these:
*1 book = 1 month.
*Rotate who picks the book, go in alphabetical order, starting at a random letter for last name.
*Genre and style do not matter for your suggestion (unless you're suggesting a Danielle Steele novel or Sarah Palin's book.. if that's the case: this is not the website for you), the point here to to be exposed to books that we wouldn't normally encounter.
*You pick the book, you write the post that kicks off the conversation for it.

Hopefully this works, and I look forward to this little experiment.

We'll aim for picking the first book Wednesday, March 10th. That way everyone will have time to log their name here and we can know how many people will be participating.
