Ok, so I thought maybe people would want to start a book club with me.
I have one in my real life and love it.

If you care to join, the first selection is:
A Quiet Belief in Angels - RJ Ellory

After which we will each take turns choosing a book.
I like to allow a month so as to not drag out the books.

So, meet back here on (tbd) and we can discuss the book.
Sound good?

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I like this idea, though currently i'm backed up with about ten books to read, so I won't be in this time. Possibly in future though...I just love to read!

    I just looked it up, shit sounds a bit depressing, we shoulda had a comedy. I bought it though...sorry Dunk, Bloody African River, or whatever it is, will have to be next now.
    I don't know though, a month? :eek: I won't be able to come here if I have to read a book that quick!
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Unless they are for uni, put them on hold. This will be fun! :)
    Dunk...you are right...It is me that is the dork. :)

    In my other book club, we look up questions online and then react to those, but I think that would require us getting a room. A chat room, you dirty minds.
    If someone has the link to the Pit chat room, we could maybe use that?

    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    I read the blurb, and I hope there aren't any pictures.
