Okay, I've been having serious thoughts about this, and I finally got to creating a thread. I am interested in starting an AC Book Club, of course for the Intellectual forumers here, as it will be only this forum, and anyone who chooses can participate. Basically, we will choose a book from a selection of books and read it together. Each month or so ( roughly ) we will feature a different book. We will read it chapter by chapter and discuss each chapter in the designated thread regarding that particular book. Or we can read it 2 chapters at once and discuss it. For the purposes of an example I will use 1 chapter.
The "Book Club" will be abbreviated. If we pick Catch-22 as the reading material, the example as a thread title would be:
BC: Catch-22 Ch.1, The Texan
Of course I understand the constraints of school, of work, and some of you might not have time, but if anyone is interested, it's obvious you should respond saying "Yea Mouse, I'm friggin interested!". If we get enough people into it, we will decide on a book, and will read it. Every forumer will get to have a book they want read with others and we will all eventually have a chance to read the books we want.
I know this is also gonna cost money, but I come on, who is not willing to spent roughly around 20 bucks more or less for a book? In order for this book club thing to work, we need everyone's participation. I know I myself have finals around the corner, yet I am still willing to undertake this. If you are a cheap loser, or can't read, or don't like the idea of this, please don't waste my time, I am serious about this. I did this in the historychannel.com boards a while back and it was a fabulous idea, all the old geezer history buffs liked it.
Cheers!
