: : : Well, what do ya all think? Shall we have a book of the "2 month club"? The reason I say 2 months is so all of the busy people have time to read a book. Then we could all discuss the experience in the chat room or on the board. I think it would be great fun to share our thoughts on different themes and stories. Pehaps we could start out with a Sherman Alexie novel or collection of stories. We could aim for a December date.

: : : Have a great day everyone,

: : I think a book club would be a great idea. I'd vote for starting with the Cooper books since I haven't read them yet. As for reading deadlines, I'm part of a Jane Austen list where members read a chapter or two a week and discuss the books as they go along. Usually one member takes the lead in dissecting each book with others commenting. It works pretty well -- especially with a set schedule of small pieces to be read so everybody's all together and it's do-able for busy folks. Just a thought!

: Hold that thought, Jenifer! Make that TWO votes for starting with the Cooper books. One or two chapters at a time is also a great idea. Who could we ask to lead discussions on Cooper books, I wonder? HMMMMM?

: Dana

Hello, Jenifer, welcome to the board.
Hi! Dana, too!
A nice thought....I will have to find my Cooper book I threw against the wall to read AGAIN...as I am at fault for not understanding what that author was trying to say...but the idea of a book club does interest me...(I've got nothing better to do at the house today...)so we do get a leader.....hey, who is that that can lead us....or should I say; if we read Cooper, she will lead us....
What book do we start with?? (I may need more than two months to get through Cooper...ha, ha!)
