You know, I'm always looking for a good book to read when I travel or during my non-existent free time. (except when I'm in the middle of nowhere) I've always been a bookworm, and I love to talk about good books. We used to have a book club at the office, but it kind of fizzled out.
So I was wondering, are any of you interested in joining an online book club? I was thinking of having it in blog format, with each post being a book and a listing of books to talk/comment about on the side. There's a lot of good books out there, and there's a lot of people there with opinions, so I think it would be a lot of fun and a nice change of pace from our other activities.
I'm also looking for moderators for the book club, to post up books and keep the conversation going, so if you're interested just email me.
So if this sounds like something that you'd like to do, let me hear ya! It'll be open to everyone, not just readers of this site, but to anyone who loves books. I think it would be a lot of fun. If I get 5 or more people, I'll start it up...

Once it gets going, I can help get word out, so that there will be more members!
Posted by: Joanna on November 19, 2003 02:47 PMi'd be interested in joining! i love to read and am always looking for good books to buy. i get so disappointed when i buy a book and it turns out to be lame...lame books shouldn't be allowed to exist...LOL
Posted by: SARAH on November 19, 2003 04:09 PMOh, wah. I would love to, but no time. :(
It's an awesome idea, though!
Posted by: Noelle on November 19, 2003 04:19 PMerm, sure. why not?
i mean, i head up the book club at work, i work at a bookstore. i know what books are coming out...
sounds like fun. =)
i love books, i'm in!!! i'd offer to moderate but what do i have to do? you know how computer illiterate i am (do you remember helping me set up my avatar for RS.com? for heaven's sake i'm hopeless) either way, count me in. :)
Posted by: Lara on November 19, 2003 04:33 PMYou know, Robbins' "Pathologic Basis of Disease" is a darn good read. And lots of pictures, to boot. =P Eeek. I've been in school so long I don't know how to read a book that doesn't have to do with medicine.
This is a nice idea Christine. I'd like to join too. =)
Posted by: Lissa on November 19, 2003 10:09 PM..sounds like fun...
Posted by: Shannon on November 19, 2003 10:14 PMi'd... oh uh... looks like i'd be the only guy... that's okay. it takes time for me to read a novel anyway. ;)
Posted by: chris on November 19, 2003 10:39 PMme, too! and what does a moderator have to do?
Posted by: SarahGillian on November 19, 2003 11:03 PMWhat a lame idea.

Posted by: Rod on November 19, 2003 11:09 PMOh wow. You know, when I had originally posted this, I had said 'If I get 10 or more people...' but I changed it to 5 because I didn't think that anyone would want to do it! Thanks for the interest, everyone!
I was thinking of making it just an open forum/blog, with each post being a book title, and you're free to comment on any of a number of books, so there's no required reading, you can just comment away!
And Rod, you suck. You are SO banned from my book club site! Hater!
Posted by: Yano on November 19, 2003 11:54 PMI'm in. :)
Posted by: lisa on November 20, 2003 12:03 PMWhat's the title of the book club? Yano What I'm Reading? :D
I'd be interested, but I watch TV/Movies more than I read. :S
