Book Club

Hey there folks, I just want to throw out a few possible rules/guidelines/decisions for the upcoming book club. Feel free to disagree, and/or add more of your own.

1.  Book Club discussion will be posted every third Sunday of the month at 7pm EST.  While it will be nice to have a lot of us at that particular time, feel free to add to the discussion at your leisure.

2.  If it’s your turn to host book club please choose a book that is widely available and preferably also available in paperback.  I guess Kindle availability would be a plus for those folks, but I don’t that it’s absolutely necessary, right?

3.  Try not to pick the same genre or author as the previous Book Club selection, let’s mix things up.

4.  Whether or not you are hosting, as you read the book think of some questions to ask your fellow readers so we can keep the discussion going.

5.  If you are hosting, pick the next host before your Sunday so they have enough time to chose a book.

6. New book selections should be posted in a separate post the third Monday of each month.

7.  If you have any suggestions for future picks, or problems with that book, post your comments in that post ^

8.  You don’t have to stick to traditional book club books though you’re welcome to.  Add in the classics, graphic novels, sci-fi  (if you must), anything that floats your boat. Expand our horizons.

9.  If you don’t have an intense debate commenting account get one now!

10. If you are hosting, you’ll need to have a Crasstalk account.

11. Even if you think you are going to hate this book/genre why not give it a try.  You can tell us exactly what you dislike in the discussion.  And if I’m going to give sci-fi a try, I expect you all to give everything a go.

So if you have any book suggestions, questions, or general comments this is the place to let me know about it.  I’ll post my selection a bit early just in case we need to work out any kinks.  So the book will be announced next week, and the first discussion will take place on February 20th.

Edit –  Now that I think about it, is posting the book on the third Monday okay? Will that give you all enough time to go get the book and read it? Or should we post it earlier? So many decisions!!!
