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.

What? This is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be honest - a book a month might be tough for me, but I want to try it. So, I'm in.
Off to think about books, and about a title.

I'm in! I'm totally excited. Let me know what we do next, sensei.
ReplyDeleteI'm iiiiiiin! I <3 this idea, btw.
ReplyDeleteCount me in. :)
ReplyDeletei'm in. i think the 1 book/1 month rule is good as we are all quite busy and some of these books may be daunting in length and content. and yes, something random like alphabetical order of the first name of the person you 'initially committed murder and got away with it', or your own first name (boring) would be sufficient. i will start thinking of my book choices...
ReplyDeleteI'm in...
ReplyDeleteOnline makes this easy... but it would be cool if we got together every once in a while too?
