I'll join as well. I love to read, but I haven't had much time lately to do so.

NewHopePoultry, I guess the best answer I can come up with for what a book club is and how it works, is that maybe we pick a book, read it, and as we read it discuss the pros and cons of the story, what our understandings of the plot are, and things like that.



May I suggest a couple books? The Princess Bride, by William Goldman, and The Arkadians, by Lloyd Alexander. Little Fuzzy, by H. Beam Piper is another great book, but as it has a lot of swearing in it and technical stuff that a lot of people probably wouldn't understand very well(Although you never know), so it probably wouldn't be a good idea for a book club, because a lot of stuff depends on the age of the reader. Like an eight year old most likely, would not be able to get past sentence four of Emma. I couldn't get past paragraph three of it myself, and I'm quite a bit older than eight.

Hope you don't mind if someone that can't read the book stalks your thread! I love to read but can't commit to reading anything right now.....

Just finished: Hunger games, Catching Fire & Mocking Jay by Suzanne Collins. Shifting Calder Wind & Green Calder Grass by Janet Dailey. I am now reading: New York to Dallas by JD Robb

I finished reading The Help a couple of weeks ago. It was good but I think the movie expressed it better. I lived back east in the 60's and understand what it was all about as I experienced it but I was born in England and couldn't understand why people were treated that way due to their color since I wasn't raised that way.

I think if we're going to do a book and discuss it, we wait until after the holidays. I don't get to sit and read right now except when I take a book to the bathtub. That's when I get to relax. I'm so busy now a showeer has to do me.

I like to read Nora Roberts, Debbie Macomber, Jean Auell, and mystery writers. I read the Jennifer Chiaverini books because I am a quilter.

Oh yeah if they do wait until after the holidays I could actally read the book & take parts.

 

[Blonde]

Wait.. so what book ARE we reading?

 

[baustin]

We haven't decided on any book. I think we're waiting until after the holidays. Everyone is so busy right now.
