Okay, here's how we'll do this Book Club thing:

Posted by ty97 Jan 20 '10, 07:08

- We'll try one a month, we can scale back if that doesn't seem to be working.
- We'll decide on books for February and March as one voting cycle, so people know the next two books. First place book = Feb. Second place = March.
- Will try to stay ahead of the curve so we always know the next two books
- Nominations of books with Physics in the title will be expressly ignored.
- I'll call for nominations several times, during day and night crews to get a good sampling.

I request that you put nominations in a thread (like this one) which asks for nominations, to make sure I see it. Or you can gmail me a nomination at ty1997.

Nominate fiction, non-fiction, graphic novel, whatever.

Post nominations here. Go. Do it.

Possible amendment that might work well for this group: Only pick books that are being adapeted into upcoming movies? - Dano Jan 20, 07:09 10
- I think there may be an interest in books that are becoming movies, and I encourage their nomination, but don't want to limit. -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 07:11 5
  - ok. Soon I Will Be Invincible, by Austin Grossman. -- nm - decline Jan 20, 07:12 2
    - did you see the clip I posted last night? -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:30 1
      - yes, it's what made me want to read the book. -- nm - decline Jan 20, 07:31
  - There's this book I've been wanting to read. Something about Calamity... -- nm - Dano Jan 20, 07:12 1
    - I look at the glowing reviews of that book at LibraryThing and am still flabbergasted. - ty97 Jan 20, 07:18
- That might mean we end up with graphic novels and Nicholas Sparks. -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 07:10 3
  - At least we'd all be married to Amy. -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 07:11 2
    - You could ahve a different theme every month though - nominate books being made into movies / books set in Africa / books written in the 1920s etc -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 07:20 1
      - I think we could have fun with some themes, after we get things up and running and 'healthy' -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 07:23
