Ixnay on the igpay atinlay.
Neo Book Club? It's a good idea about only reading a certain section for discussion, but just how is that section to be determined? I remember Wo Daddy Wo started a thread sometime back that was quite similiar but used short stories. Perhaps that one should be revived? As for book suggestions, how about Dune, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Donnerjack? ------------------- quote SlackerBooks&Lit Comics Transformers: The Movie Gundam Collectibles | |

I'm sure neo would add them to the list, but are you going to participate? And what's Donnerjack? The name sounds familiar.
As far as the reading goes, we'll explain the organization after the voting is over; we'll give everyone a bit of time to make sure they have a copy of the book. Any input is welcome, as a lot of these things have not yet been set in concrete. | |

I have added the inner workings of the thread. Go ahead and check it out.
I only take book requests from people actually joining. 22 hours until the deadline. Hurry, people! | |

Donnerjack was one of Zelazny's last novels. I've probably mentioned it before. Anywho, fans of Robert Jordan and his Wheel of Time series would probably want to check out his six novels featuring Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian. They are much shorter than WoT (about 280 pages or so each), but are some enjoyable reading.

Is the series called Pendragon or the book? And just what do aliens have to do with King Arthur of Camelot's last name anyway?

Dune is some tough reading I don't think to many people would enjoy it.
If you want a book club you have to get everyone to agree to read a book and start at the same time. Plus everyone needs to keep up so no one is left behind in the discussion. It could work but it has to be properly organized. You can only go as fast as the slowest reader in the group. Or eject him from the group.  -------------------  Education Forum|Books & Literature My Brute | |

Yeah, me and 'cloak had pretty much the same discussion. I've got too much going on to join a book club right now anyway.

WHERE IS EVERYONE?
I thought the activity here would hit a boon during the holidays, especially with people getting new books for Christmas and having more time to read, but I guess you're all cooping yourselves up in your damn bedrooms playing video games all day!  | |

Where are we? Plotting your death.
 I haven't really read much this holiday. I've been busy with other crap. I meant to bring my book when I went on a small one day trip yesterday, but I forgot it. x_x I tend to read more when school is in than when it's out, oddly enough. ------------------- The balls of evil are never safe from the steel-toed boot of JUSTICE!! | |

Or perhaps they are cooped up reading the books they got recently. Nothing new this forum seems to peak and fall constantly. Mostly having to do with releases of major books like HP and WOT.

Ok. Who reported my post? They had the F-Word! This is rediculous! I should be repoting this, but I'll see if that Whitecloak does his job correctly!

Oh, I forgot to post. Yes, I did do my job correctly. Now you can do your job and go sit in the corner for a while in happy-nappy-banland.
I'm glad to see the activity jumping again, but what gives? I figured everyone would be here during Christmas, and we reached 9 ppd until the last couple days. KEEP READING, folks; don't waste your mind on Yu-Jee-Wo and Pokemon cards. | |
