Starting a book club

Pirapple

Lord of Altera
A little less than a year ago, I posted a review of TFiOS (the fault in our stars) and in that thread, I asked if we wanted to start a book club. I guess I never really got around to doing that, so now I think it would be a good time to start one up, since it's about to be summer for a lot of people, and that should free up some time for reading or listening to the book (when you're not having fun on hollow of course).

To join up, fill out this doohickie right here.

So, how the book club is exactly going to work. One person will choose a book every month, and everyone should go out and get that book. Try to choose books that are not too expensive, but still choose whatever you like. Then, that person will go through the book entirely, and think about some discussion points on the book.

For example, I asked you all to read Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. I would ask a question like, Do you think Sam I Am really had the right to assault the unnamed person that simply did not want to try green eggs and ham?

I think we could host monthly meetings starting sometime this summer, just to get us started. After that, we'll see. Hopefully it's all fun and dandy and we get a great group going. So if you want to join up, please do, I can't wait to read books and help discover meaning!

Ok, so over the summer, I think that I found a book that would be good for us all. It's fiction, a little horrific, but really it's a realistic fiction book.

Linky to amazon of book

Edit: Link to full book pdf (Not suggesting you download it, but the entire book is there 3.2 gb)

I'll give my summary of the first 20 pages or so.

So a older man, Theo Decker, is reminiscing about his mother, and the day that he lost her. He starts out with a backstory about why he was out of school for the day, he was caught smoking at school with a "friend," and then tells of his travel with his mother to his school, close to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. They are early for the meeting, and his mother is an Art History major, and they go into the museum to see a new exhibit that his mother is very excited about. They enter quickly, almost like they are running away from something horrible, but in reality, they are running into something even worse.

If anyone has trouble getting the book, let me know.

.. Today, I was thinking of getting that book, and I stared at it for a good two minutes and just left it there... Now, I've no money, and too many books on me, that I need to finish reading before I can get a new one.

I thought most of the books in project gutenberg were older books, but I guess I really don't know.

If it's a problem for people to get the book, I'll change it.
