Great idea..thanks for starting, and please put me on your ping list.. 1. Since a book, by nature, takes a little more time to read than a newspaper or magazine..I think you should foreswear the idea of a daily thread...Start a new one every weekend..and let it run for the week..

2. A book club thread , be it conservative, or Republican, or libertarian, is waaay to broad in scope,..and therefore is not focused. I think that every week you should consider limited the area of discussion to a particular topic, or genre..examples..and there are others..

1. Contemporarey politics

2.Biographies

3.Military history

4. Fiction

5. European history

> 6. Religion

Otherwise the thread is all over the place...in this way,each week there's a little more focus to the books discussed.. thanks for letting me weigh in..

I haven't read much non-fiction but here is a couple of my favorite fiction books:

The House On Old Vine - Norah Lofts

1000 White Women - Jim Fergus

And The Ladies Of The Club - Helen Hooven Santmyer
