Book Club

So, we're settled on the book, right?

Well, it looks like we have a long list of people interested. If you want to read and aren't on this list post something and say so and if you're on the list but decided you don't want to read, let us know. So, let's all go out and buy/borrow/get from library "Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold.

Thanks for organizing, Anna. :up I'm going on vacation this weekend and will get the book to take along with me. I think this will be a lot of fun because you guys here at the FORT always have witty, insightful things to say...

I've never been in a book club before; how does it work? Will we be discussing certain chapters at a time, or set a timeframe for everyone to read the complete book and then discuss?

Since greenflute is the book club expert AND has read the book before, I think it should be her job to organize that... ;)

Should we post as we think of things or arrange a time for us to all go online and discuss?

Take it away greenie!

Oops! I guess I wasn't clear. I won't be reading with the Club. I've kind of got my own reading schedule. :) I'm really interested in the whole idea, though, and I look forward to hearing what people have to say about these books. Sorry for the confusion. :)

Uh oh! Now I have responsibilities?! Yikes! :D

Well my book club usually gives a month for people to get the book and read it. Then we set up a time and someone poses some questions, but usually it runs it's own course. I'm more than willing to pose some questions once we all read it.

What does everyone think about a month? That's quite a long time on a message board. If you all think you can read it faster then let me know.

How about we break it down and read a certain number of pages/chapters a week?

Hmmm that might just work, Anna.

The more I think about it, it may be best for everone to finish the book before discussing, just so that someone who has read ahead won't accidentally "spoil" what comes next. A month sounds like a good timeframe, in my opinion. Say, July 10th?

Of course, whatever you guys think is fine with me; I'm just along for the ride...:)

I agree. I'm reading a couple of other things right now, too, so if I have a month, I can fit it in. Or I can just push the other books aside and read this one.

I'd like to be a "reader" also. My sister read Lovely Bones for her book club and it sounds interesting.
