I'd like to make a small suggestion. Is there anyway to possibly list the topic for the week, a week in advance, for those of us who want to participate?

It's great to discuss books and authors, but if we aren't aware of what the discussion will be in advance, it's kind of hard to be prepared.

Unfortunately, the last thing I have read was by Lemony Snickett! Haven't been able to read a book for myself in a while, and I would love a suggestion for the week in advance.

Good idea! I suggest we make next week's topic: "Quest" tomes, but this week, discuss biographies (since it is already Saturday).

Then, next Saturday, we can come up with a new theme for the following week.

I'd love to get there. We just started this two days ago. And, as you can see, I couldn't even decide on a topic for today, although I've been asking for two days.

The way I'm figuring this (and I could be totally wrong) is first we should see who pops in and wants to take part and see what they want to talk about. Example, I originally wanted to talk about the large number of conservative books out there, if only to find the good ones. This would also be on topic for FR. HOWEVER, I was quickly informed that this was a little too narrow a focus.

Give it a few weeks, and we could even start talking about specific books, but let's get our legs first. People will need time to find specific books and read them.

Actually, once again I'll put it to a vote:

This is directed to everyone
Either here or in the mail:
List your three favorite book genres IN ORDER
I'll tally them and weight them accordingly (and even ignore them if you list more than three).

I'll post the results sometime mid-week. (It's back to school Monday, so I can't guarantee which day.) We can make that the next three, four or even five weeks topics if we get enough people participating.

Thank you, in advance, to everyone.

LOL! I remember those days. For about a year, the only books I read were about a monkey and a guy in a yellow hat.
Never did figure out what they really meant.
