USMB Book Club?

[Michelle420]

Would anyone be interested in having a Monthly Book club?

There would be a book everyone would agree to read and then at the end of the month have a book discussion thread?

People could suggest books we could do a poll with the books and which ever book got the most votes would be the one for that month.

We could read political books, philosophy, fiction etc.....

People could participate when they want to and other months not.

If there is already a book club here send me the link

No thanks you all would not pick Sci Fi.

Not true. We pick on you all the time. You're out of this world and sometimes you go where no man has ever gone before......

I kid.

There are many VERY good sci fi books out there, you and your buddies disdain for them is childish and poor sighted.

Just finished Follett's latest trilogy and today will start "The Sleepwalkers" with another Follett in the stack below that.

As much as I have enjoyed Follett he has yet to better his "Pillars of The Earth".

And that's about the most in-depth discussion of books I feel appropriate to our vast liberal membership who are still sounding out the text of "Animal Farm".

If the majority voted ona sci fi book for the month that would be the book. Those who choose not to read it that month can opt out.

We would just make a pol with 3 or 4 book titles the one with most votes would be the one for that month.

I mostly read social justic stuff but I am open to some fiction might be a nice escape.

 

[Michelle420]

I might be interested.
