Book Club!

Ok, here are the books recommended so far:
Heart of Darkness
The Pearl
Billy Budd
Frankenstein
The Heart is A Lonely Hunter
Turn of the Screw
Dr Jeckyll
Stranger in a Strange Land
Of Mice and Men
To Kill a Mocking Bird
The Once And Future King
The Name Of The Rose
Anna Karenina
1984

These are all great suggestions. I agree with some of the posters that we should start with something short at first. It seems like a lot of people think the Pearl might be good to start with. Whadday'all think? I'm sorry if I seem overzealous. I don't mean to come across that way. I just think this is such a great idea!

Not overzealous at all! I'm ready to get this party started!

I say since Pearl has gotten such raves, we start with that. I'll pop by the used bookstore this weekend.

What kind of turnaround are we looking for? 1 week? 2 weeks?

I'm voting for The Pearl or 1984, but really I’m up for almost anything. I would vote against Stranger in a Strange Land (just read that this summer).
I’d love to have a book picked by the beginning of next week, so I can get started reading over Thanksgiving. Someone who is premium throw a poll up and let’s see what happens.


Are we going to try and have someone kind of steer the discussions or just a free for all of thoughts or comments on each chapter/ section?

OMG i've never done a poll, but I'll do it ...do I need to post a new thread?

 

[pattip2000]

I think so but not sure
