I used to read all the time but I just got away from it. I think this would get me back into the swing of things.

Everyone?  Is Straight Men ok for the first title?  Vote yea or nea by Friday. 


Does anyone have any experience with book clubs? Any guidelines we can use?


Everyone, let us know what you think.  If we all help build it, everyone should enjoy it.

I'll yea for Straight Men.


And personally, although the comedy is British, I think Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is funnier than Monty Python.  I think even if you don't like Monty Python, it's very possible you'll still like Hitchhiker's.

I am a follower, not so much a leader. Straight Man will be fine. I will read whatever is the majority vote. Do you discuss books in sections or as a whole? I may have to make notes or something since I forget things easiliy. Although, with the holiday Monday, I will not be in the office and I am not sure I will have a chance to check-in while at home.

We can discuss it as we go, but probaly discuss it once a week in manageable chunks, so people dont have to feel rushed or pressured to read.  It is supposed to fun, not feel like another deadline.  God knows we all have enough of those.

I think we have to impose not a deadline, but a restriction on when you can talk about what.  Because some people will be ahead of others and may ruin the story for anyone who's not there yet.

Being a holiday weekend, let's make the first assignment be getting the book.  I know I'm pretty busy w/ holiday stuff, so getting it is do-able but reading would be tough.


For Ultimo, it is Memorial Day weekend here in the colonies.  A holiday to remember those who died in the military.  No one is working on Monday.

I would be good with that too. Depending on the lenght of the chapters and holiday time, maybe we can squeeze five chapters in. I guess we will see.

No pressure, just do what you can.  Just get into the story.  We'll compare page counts on Tuesday.  Sound good everyone?

Read on a Holiday Weekend?  I wanted to get in about 108 holes and lounge by the pool as my brats boil in beer. I'll buy the book this weekend.

Someone who knows Trish, should private message her.  She is the writer of the group.  Maybe she would like this and she would have a lot to offer.  Can someone invite her?
