Book club

[Athos]

Would anyone be interesting and willing to participate in a book club?

The genre would be from fiction, to essays, to science fiction and anything in between.

[Tyche]

Would we have to purchase the books? How would this work, exactially?

[Nyx]

I would have interest...

[Yami Haga-Ryuzaki]

I would also have an interest, as long as we can voice our opinions if we believe a certain book sucks.

There's no way you could do that. THIS IS ATHOS' GERMANY!

>_> Lady G has a point....(But seriously yes, you CAN say a book SUCKS, though, I'd think everyone would agree that you'd have to give reasons as to why it sucks.

Purchase, rent, steal, all that matters is that you obtain the book. I'm thinking it works like this.


Every month:
(1) Vote on a book
(2) OBTAIN the book {rent, buy, steal}
(3) Discuss (chapter(s/ sections whatever it may be))
(4) Repeats steps 1-4.

*Also feel free to jump in if you have any better ideas*

[Tyche]

Anyone who condones stealing is worthy of my presence in their club, lol.

I'm going to say this now; I really don't care what we read, so don't expect suggestions from me.

[Athos]

Glad to have you aboard. So then those of us wishing to participate, we'll begin the book nomination process.

To nominate a book, give:
(1) Title
(2) Author
(3) Price
(4) Give a short statement about what the book is about or why it should be selected.

Everyone may suggest up to 2 titles for voting.

For example:

1. Fahrenheit 451 (Format: Mass-market paperback)
2. Ray Bradbury
3. $6.99 USD ($8.90 AUD)
4. This book is a classic. The story is set up in a world where firemen don't put out fires, but set them when ever someone is found to have books. A young fireman must make a difficult decision to help save his own community.


Once all the titles for the month have been posted, I'll change the poll to include the titles, and from there, we'll vote. If there is a tie, then we'll push one of the books to be voted for the next month. So, with that being said, feel free to start recommending.

Fahrenheit 451

isn't that the one where the government is burning books and other media that threatened their rule???

Aye, that be the one.

[Tyche]

Ano...

How about Stephen King's "The Gunslinger"? I'm re-reading the Dark Tower series anyway. <.<

[Athos]

I've heard much flack over the Dark Tower series, and I've noticed they made the Gunslinger into a graphic novel >__>

[Tyche]

I like the series. I think I saw someone with the comic, too, but I thought I was imagining it. O.o

I dunno. What about Godless by Pete Hautman? (I'd suggest the Hobbit, but I think everyone and their mothers have read it.)

[Athos]

I'd think you're right on that one.

[divinephoenix]

I think I'm too late on this

[Athos]

Not really. xD No one's recommended a book
