I SO hope our efforts to start an online book club prove successful! Please join us, after you finish Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns, but I would caution you to NOT join us until then. We have been discussing everything.
(Unless of course, if like me, you still enjoy reading a book for its own sake, even if you've seen an actual plot outline.)
That sounds wonderful OTR!!!! Hope life calms down for you. 2 of the three thirsties are sick at our house. So reading might actually be possible as odd as that might sound!
I hope all the thirsties get better but leave ya room enough to read. My life is slowly sorting itself out, and a new computer on its way. Reading will follow!
oh, I just ordered that book, but it will take a little while to get here, too late for this discussion I suppose, darn!
I ordered it as well a few days ago from Amazon..hopefully it's in the mail today
i think we will still have plenty of time to read and then join in on the thread
We are going to postpone this discussion for a few days. I'll post the change in date when gemthornton gives me the hi-sign.
Thanks to all.

Rules of Engagement:
Enjoy, discuss, exchange ideas, opinions, make allusions, references to similar plots and themes, but otherwise try not to introduce unrelated topics.
General off topic comments will be permitted as they relate directly to the reading group and the book under discussion.
This is intended as a "fun" experience and not school!
[b]gemthornton/B] will lead the discussion and keep it moving. We will keep the thread open, indefinitely, so that the members of our group who have not had a chance to procure it or read it can join the discussion at any time.
Members who have not read this book, please take your time and try to resist reading the thread (unless you wish to hear about the book beforehand ) and trust that the discussion will be on-going as members can and will join the thread.
I will act as moderator, and participant.
I do think we can assume that one or more City-Data members, who did not sign on, might join us in our discussion. As this is a public forum, this is inevitable and permissible. Only posts that do not conform to CD ToS will be monitored and/or deleted.
Please make any suggestions or offer your input here at any time.
Sounds good. By the way OTR I read 1000 Splendid in 2 days. I could not put it down. What a book!!!!!!!!!!!
