Who's up for a book club?
 

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this in, but since this is the Books Forum, I thought this would be the first place to go. Mods, lock this thread if you feel the need to.

I propose we have a Menewsha book club where every two weeks or so, we are assigned a book to read. After we finish, we can discuss the book, rate it, etc. in the book club thread. The reason I thought of this was because I really like to read all kinds of different books and getting recommendations for books to read. I just never know where to begin. I kind of liked having reading assignments in high school, but now we can do that same thing without any quizzes or the looming possibility of having an F on your record.

If anyone thinks this is a good idea and is up for it, then I'll start setting up the thread. [:

So i think i joined a Mene book club before- but it and i fell by the wayside ><
i'd like to try and do a book club- but i'm an English major in college so i may be only able to do every other book.
I love book clubs beside that- fun times :D

I want to join!I just finished reading the traveling pants series.I am currently reading Mariel of Redwall ,the fourth book in the Redwall series:)

I think it would be a splendid idea, but I don't know how good I'd be at keeping up with it. :P I have so many books to read...

But I do so love recommendations, and this has the potential to be very fun indeed! I say let's go for it. :D

I'd join in a heart beat and I have recommendatons!

I would LOVE this! I love to read but often don't have time in between work and studying FOR work, lol. I love fantasy books but have been wanting to branch out to some nonfiction/biography. I would prefer a more adult selection, none of that teenybopper crap. ;)

When would you want to start?

I would join! ;3 It sounds like fun.

I would do this, I need an excuse to read fiction, which I rarely pick up for myself.

I would Join for sure.
I love to read and since I go through them so quickly, this would be really kool to find different styles and types of books.

I would join. I am in a book club at my university and we have been reading a variety of books such as; Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Children of Men. Our next book is Interview with a Vampire I believe.

Oh! Oh! I'd probably, no - definitely, love to join something like this, as long as things were planed and set in stone according to the preferences of the members, the air was comfortable, etc.

Oh, I've been wanting to join a book club actually XD Like Rose said before, I'm an English major, so I've got a lot of class reading to do and might not able to do every single book (seeing as I hardly have time to read for pleasure as it is), but I'm willing to give it a shot :D It sounds like it can be fun.

If we do decide on a reading group how would be go about picking books?

I'm guessing people who suggest a book, then we would all vote on the book we'd want to read out of those few.

OMG! I would LOVE to join I love reading soo much but I cant find any books of my taste to read so... I think this a GREAT IDEA!!! =D

I think it's a great idea.
As for picking out a book to read, should we pick out a genre first?

yep! *waves historical fiction Genre* I love that Genre and fiction :s XDDD

Haha, I gotta agree with you there.

Woo for Historical fiction so.. so.. real.. yet it is... not real XDDD

I believe this sounds like a good idea, but I wouldn't want to join anything I would in the end feel like I'm being forced to do over other activities and responsibilities. Basically, would it be a huge expectation for every single book put up to be read by everyone in it?

I would love to join! =]
