Book Club???

NO! LET THERE BE CHAOS!




J/K, how intensive are the reading requirements for this? Is it fairly laid back or aggressive?

 

That offends my orderly, J-nessness. Prepare to defend yourself in a scheduled and perfectly organized duel.

I hope it's laid-back. The last thing I want is to have this feeling like a school project. That being said, as much as I would like to have fun and enjoy myself, I'd also like to learn something.

 

Theme: Mind-blowing awesomeness.

 

OMG you win, leave me alone!

 

Well, it's not really some protocol of a book-club, because heaven knows, I've never belonged to a book club before. But I imagine that if we're going to settle on a book without being constrained by the problems that personal biases might cause (such as those introduced by voting), it might be a good idea to establish perimeters that put us outside our comfort zone.

That being said, you're absolutely right to mention some sort of schedule. I suggest that 100 pages per week isn't too rigorous of a demand, so if the book or novel has 300, it should take us three weeks to complete. When we start discussions is up to us, although I think that posting our thoughts at the end of every week might keep those of us prone to procrastination more on track and less likely to abandon the project because we got overwhelmed.

Thoughts?

 

I say 3 weeks is a good time to get through a book. Good pacing.

Are book discussion questions going to be posted? Are there questions we can try to answer every week to keep us going or motivated?

 

I vote Non fiction

I think there will be more to discuss after reading a non fiction book

 

I vote fic . . .

 

I vote fiction, I think non-fiction would be easier for some to digest after the club has been well established.

 

I'm a lot more picky with my non-fiction books than I am with my fiction books (author bias and all), so I vote fiction.
