I would suggest option two ... random draw each month, but until a full cycle has been completed, no repeats? Let everybody have a chance at being the book chooser before a second iteration starts.

Sorry Onyx, I just took a list of folks that posted in this forum, and added question marks next to those that didn't specifically say 'count me in'. I should have put question marks next to your name. Are you interested?

If I put your name in by accident, sorry, I'll take it out, just let me know.

Good point wolf. We set a deadline for folks interested. Anyone joining after that point has to wait until the whole starting group has had a turn.

I don't think there should be repeats because it is going to take long enough for everyone to get a chance at being the book chooser.

Sure, I'm in--but I can't guarantee an in-depth review like that every time. :)

And few books have as much depth as Curious George.

I'm in.

In light of my failure to grasp the fundamentals of "Solitude", I'm going to bow out. Thanks, tho. :)

I think the only thing anyone has to volunteer for is whether or not they would like to nominate books. As this is going to end up being completely voluntary anyone can join in at anytime without informing the group. It's not like the CD exchange where people dropping in and out throws the entire system off.

I think we've already seen enough interest to start the club already too. That being said I'll try and participate as much as possible.

edit: Damn somehow I missed Slartibartfast last post, I think option two is the best.

I'm in, but I reserve the right to whine about my reading load for school.

okay, so far

i'll do it, but i can't promise that i won't just make jinx tell me about the book. i'll be damned if i'm going to buy 2 copies ofeach book. jinx is a fast reader, but i tend to become unconscious shortly after i open my book. I'd love to pick 3 books for your consideration, though. Does Playboy qualify as a "book"?

I like Penthouse better. You know, because of the Forum Letters, mostly. Find the bunny on the cover of Playboy is okay, though.

i love to read. i'm in.
