    Just an idea I had while reading Elok's book suggestion thread. I like reading books, but I also like discussing books--and I think this is true of many others on Apolyton. So I was thinking we could have, every two months (or some other period of time), a new book for everyone who signs up to read on a schedule and discuss. Thoughts?

    Honestly, my main concern is that book clubs are something my mom does, and I want to avoid being too much like my mom.
    So pick stick-pic porno mags for reading and discussion.

    I'm sure your mum doesn't read Playboy at her book club meetings.

    problem solved.

      Still, it seems logical that a Poly book club should start with a Poly author (of which I don't think there are any, and this being the next closest thing).
      JR's done freelance as have I, but I don't believe there's a poly poster with a published book out. Yet.

        ACK!
        Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

          Ahh, thanks! I forgot about Vel! He's been away for awhile.

              Currently reading "The Great Divorce" by C.S. Lewis. So I'm guessing we still haven't decided on a book yet?

                Read the damn thread, Imran. Huge Anal Sluts 15. You have until Friday to get your copy.

                    So I guess this thing died? I'll nominate The Great Gatsby because I've already read it.

                      Doesn't everybody read that in high school?

                        I pretended to read it in high school.

                          He'd better make sure he reads the first 14 first though. I skipped straight from Huge Anal Sluts 12 to Huge Anal Sluts 14 and nothing made any sense.

                            OK, I'd like to nominate Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman because I haven't read it and there's a reasonable probability that it is a. a good book and b. there are a decent number of people here who haven't read it. Thoughts?

                            If nobody likes that we can read the Great Gatsby again, I liked that book, it's one of the few assigned books I actually liked in high school. Most people here are so old that when they were in high school electric lights hadn't been invented yet*, so it should be worth a reread with the movie coming out

                            *yes, anachronism alert, Great Gatsby was written in '25, but be quiet

                              Colbert's book club picked Gatsby. This way people can be part of two book clubs at once while only reading one book

                                I would like to nominate any of the following, because I have to read them for a class I'll be taking in a couple months.
