The Book Group [Starting up again]
 

I had an idea and I believe somebody else mentioned it also, that we could start our own little book group.

The idea is that 6 or 7 of us get to choose a book one at a time, once a week, that we all read and discuss on here?

Don't know if this would work, but could be fun?



In the group:

Benjamin
Mokka
Eoin
Jessica
Tom
Natalie
GypsyGoth

Do we get to burn books? :amazed:

Not literally ;). We can discuss/disect them and share our opinions on the book chosen by the person that particular week. :)


It'd be cool to get 7 very different members who all read very different things and discuss a weird and wide variety of stuff, be it Mills and Boon *shudders* or something more challenging to read.

Hmm... it depends on the book I guess.

Well we'd all get to choose one book at some point that we all have to read and discuss, that way we all get to vary our reading and extend it and get our choice of what the group reads.

Maybe yes.

*shudders along with ben at Mills and Boon*

:laugh2:

I 'll be in the book group.. I'll read anthing. (apart from Millsand Boon)

*hopes whoever joins the book group doesn't pick Mills and Boon*

Cool. Obviously we only have a week to read the book, so we can't choose anything massive like 'War and Peace'.

Hopefully we'll get 6 or 7 of us interested in this. :)

Actually, I've just been thinking.. I'm all like "oh I'll read anything". That's actually bull****! I'll read anything that interests me by page 1.. if I'm bored or disinterested by then, then it's over!
I like autobiographies, historical fiction and crime/thrillers. I don't mind the odd trashy novel.. but make me read arty farty **** and Ima going to cut you.. (missingyou Scott) :D

I'd be interested but I've only just started a new book now, unless you all want to start reading that lol

I'll play but I don't want to pick one incase ya'll think it's awful! D:

Read my one then Room, you'd like it Jess it Fritzlish:joker:

:joker:

Hmm might be interested but I dont know if I want to be buying a new book every week, and some times I wont have enough time in a week to read the whole thing

You don't have to but one, remember that prehistoric thing called the library? :tongue:

I hate borrowing books though :laugh:

I'm up for it, I love reading.

Can't we all just read Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy over and over?

Anyway this is a nice idea but I simply can't handle reading other peoples choices. I'm not someone who will read through any old book just to discuss it with some strangers.

maybe it would broaden your horizons Stu, you never know.

I reckon I'll take my chances with this one. Seems a calculated risk.

Same as Stu, you would probably get TheBeast picking Katie Price's Autobiography..

**** that.

I'll take part in the sense that if I spot a book I may like I'll read and discuss it (if it's available to me at the time) but I couldn't guarantee I'd read everything nor nominate a book

I would if I didn't have a huuuuge library debt :laugh2:
