Book Club... Sort Of

I've decided to start a book club, more or less. You only have to do it if you want. It's not a grade.

I'll start it off by deciding the first book. Then you (those who want) all have to go out and find a copy. We'll all read it, and, say, after a couple of weeks, we'll all blog about it. Since I'm starting it, everybody would just leave comments at my site. Heck, you don't even have to waint until you're done with the book. Comment away!

Then, when all of us who have read it are through with our comments, each of us (well, maybe not me) will suggest another book. It doesn't have to be one you're already read. It doesn't have to be some great piece of literature. It can even by a graphic novel. (But no porn.) It just needs to be something you'd like to share. Then we'll all vote, more or less, and whoever "wins"... well... we'll all just move over to her or his blog for the next round.

Okay. Here's the book: The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. You can probably find a cheap copy in a used book store. It's worth owning... or so I say.

Let's say in two weeks we'll all plan on having it read. Let's say by Monday, February 9. If you finish it sooner, let us know. If you're not done yet, no worries. We'll pace ourselves.

If you want to join in just let me know. Well, I guess you don't even have to do that.

  1. Oh oh! I love this idea! I've always wanted to join a book club, I just never knew where to go to do this, lol! Guess I'm just a member of this little nerd herd. Hope it's not just the two of us!

  2. I've finished but will refrain from comments until everyone participating is finished. Hate to spoil it for anyone.
