PrintableShould we all start reading together/read the same amount of pages a night? When do we start? I've never done this before, as you can probably tell.  Oh shit, my hat done fell off | |

The deadline will be in, say, two weeks, so read at your own pace. It's a relatively short book, so there's no need to keep everyone on the same page. I've never organized one of these either!  | |

www.amazon.com www.bibliofind.com www.powells.com www.half.com I am thinking we should all be done reading in about two weeks, by which time I hope to have figured out the details of the discussion. Before that time I will be in touch with everyone by Orgnote with the specifics, so we don't keep cluttering up the GD. Of course anyone can join, but at the moment, the following people are participants (if you posted on this thread at all, you are a member!

Also, if you can't participate this time because of other committments or because you don't like the book choice or whatever, we hope that this will be around for a while, so maybe next time! Post any questions here or Orgnote me! And for all y'all who know my Orgnote address and don't call -- Fuck y'all! It's this one

I am going to buy the book today. This will be fun. I am looking forward to posting a review. As it is fairly short it shouldn't take too long to read. | |

Great Lleena! Although I don't want people to feel they have to post reviews or write book reports or anything like that. This isn't school. Discussion should flow as it will. I'll be the "leader" of this first session, since I chose the book. Whoever chooses the next book can "lead" the next time. And "leading" can be as fluid as "discussing," so for you shy ones, don't be afraid to recommend a book! P.S. MakeMeWannaHoller, I'll take that as a "yes"! | |

Scroll up lugnut. Who wrote that? Sounds like a controversial title to me. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

Good Belle and Ian!
(  @ althom)
I've heard from some others who are having trouble getting the book, so we'll decide on an exact time when I get more feedback, but I'm thinking 2 weeks or so. @ the edit[This message was edited Tue Mar 18 19:07:15 PST 2003 by 2the9s] | |
