Okay, so I have an idea to propose to those of you in LJ land.
This summer after I graduate I plan on doing a LOT of reading. I miss reading for leisure soooooooooo much, and I plan on making freqent library trips.
However, I generally get into these fixes where I really want to read, but can’t think of a book. Either that, or I’ll read a book that I think is awesome and will want to discuss it with someone, but no one will be readily available.
So, I was pondering the idea of starting a sort of “book club” ish message board. On it, people could recommend books, groups of people could decide on a book to read, and then discuss it in a thread when they finished. (and yes, I also want an excuse to use the message board I am provided with my hosting)
I don’t know if people would be interested in all, or if people *were* interested if it would get too big, seeing as it’s not focusing on a particular genre of books, just books in general.
Sooo, does anybody think that would be a good idea?
YES!
That sounds like it could be fun! Keep us out here in the loop, I’d be interested in hanging around a place like that and seeing what happens. (: You could probably make an LJ community for it instead/as well if you wanted.
count me in
Yes. And, also, you must read The Sparrow.
Hmmm
Depends on the books . . . I only read Danielle Steele-eqse romances.
Re: Hmmm
i only like danielle steel originals. all these copycats… those stories are just too watered down.
i’d be good with that, I too want to read and read and read. I have a list of 100 Best Novels ever that I really want to work through.
