Would anybody be interested in joining a DU book club?

[Clintonista2]

How about one book (fiction) is chosen each month, and at the end of the month a new topic will be started where we can post our thoughts on the book? Maybe it's a stupid idea, and I obviousley dont have all the details worked out, but if anybody is interested in joining, post in this thread! If more than 5-10 people sign up, we can work out the details.

1. Very cool idea......are old people allowed to join??? If so, count me in!

[Clintonista2]

3. Of course! ;)

[applegrove]

2. I'm in. Except I might have to use the library and they may not have the book.

But I'll be in part of the time.

[Clintonista2]

8. Don't worry about it, just participate when you can

I'm in the same boat as you, although my publc library is very good.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. yup, mois 2, per favore,

[terisan]

5. Interested.

This would mean that I can remain addicted to the internet while getting back to reading fiction.

6. As long as it's rather loose, I'm interested

I'm reading a fiction now, and I have non-fictions I can recommend. The fiction is "Shogun"... so, I'm not sure I'll be through in a month! I'm learning MUCH by reading it, and it's worth a review.

Maybe a section at DU exists for this already???

17. Shogun is an awesome book. Clavell was a great writer.

After Shogun, read Tai Pai.

10. We had a DU fiction club a few years back....We read

"The Handmaid's Tale", "The Grapes of Wrath" and "A Confederacy of Dunces"-maybe one or two more-before it faded out. If you get enough interest, I'd love to participate.

[terrya]

19. Kick for more interest in this great idea

[Goblinmonger]

20. I'm in

[sanityraines]

21. I'm sorta new here, but...

I would certainly love to join in. Is it too late? Let me know please! I certainly need to get back into reading...all my books are out-dated and I'd love to have some new ones recommended.

[yellowdogintexas]

[abluelady]

23. Am I Too Late?

I would love to participate.

[journalist3072]

24. What's the status of this? Can we make this happen, if it hasn't already? eom

[zabet]

25. Me too!!!!!! n/t

[terrya]

26. Any updates on the DU Book Club?

I think there's far more than the 10 people needed for approval.

I think this is a great idea.

[ckimmy57]

27. I just found this subject and

I'd like to be counted in. I read constantly and would love to belong to a book group. Please let me know. Thanks!

[pitohui]

28. i'd be interested as long as there was no chick lit EOM

[Bjornsdotter]

29. Count me in too! n/t

[OKDem08]

30. I'm in!

[Iris]

31. Sounds like fun!

[LisaM]

32. Yes, I'd be interested.

I would prefer to read quality writing - literature - vs. sci-fi, Oprah books, etc. I am in a couple of book clubs now and get kind of frustrated with the fact that people simply will not focus on how well a book is written, character development, etc., but just seem to read what everybody else is reading, or use the book club as a venue for reading stuff on their personal "to-read" lists. I also enjoy reading poetry.

[jannyk]

33. Whatever happened to this great idea? eom

[fadedrose]

34. Willing to try it out ... (nt)

[Goblinmonger]

35. I'm in. n/t

[LWolf]

36. Possibly, if I'm interested in the chosen book. n/t

38. I'd be interested.

[Dr. Strange]

39. That sounds like a cool idea.

But, rule number one: RL keeps his clothes on during all discussions.
There can be no compromise on this.
:P

[RetroLounge]

40. You take all the fun out of book discussions

:cry:
