After a very slow fall (the season, I mean, and only a small bit of actual descent) I, for one, am ready to get back on the online book club wagon. And there is a plan. The big question: how to choose books? A: I'm gonna let you do it. I spoke to a number of people in other successful clubs, and my favorite solution to the "which book now?" issue was to have each member take turns selecting a title. A scattering of choices based on individual interests should inherently introduce variety, and hopefully lead to a not unwelcome sense of investment in the club. Right? What do you think? Seriously, I'm too indecisive for this job, but as I'm who you're stuck with you are just going to have to Sign Up and Send Feedback. To begin I'll compile a list of book-pickers, which will then have to be arranged. Possibly I'll use the order names are volunteered or maybe a more scientific system is called for: Level-of-Awesomeness or simply Birth Date (either way I think we can make a strong case that Emily K, born January 9, should be first
*wink*). Once said list is in place and the dear reader at the top (
ahem, Emily) has made
his/her choice I'll post again with our next book.
Please (pretty, pretty please...) post your name and date of birth in the comments. For kicks and so that we can get to know each other a bit better you can include a few of your likes and dislikes,
Amélie style (idea credit: Shannon O). My Entry: "Kristin; June 14; I enjoy riding in cars alongside moving trains and paying with exact change. I dislike the smell that tomato vines leave on my skin, when bands that repeat their own name in every song, and the term "lover"." I sincerely hope that this list will morph with time, you can always pass or trade when your turn comes up, and
really no pressure. Just let us know you are here. And that you are awesome.
