EoFF Book Club

[Freya]

The last book club was a year ago. I want to read more. I love recommendations. So Let's have another book club for 2015! We'll come up with some ideas for January and then we'll use this thread to discuss it.

Some thoughts about it personally:

• Let's try for non classics.
  
  • Unless that classic really needs to be read and we agree collectively, experiencing something new for everyone or almost everyone would probably create more discussion.
  
  
• Let's try to avoid super niche genres.
  
  • You may think that a book about woodworking and it's exciting tales are awesome but when recommending something, try to think of something the majority would at least be okay with to spend the time to read.
  
  
• Everyone can nominate
  
  • We're not going to have one person throw out ideas and then decide on that. I want everyone's input.
  
  
• Let's try a book a month.
  
  • Let's try to have one a month, it'll keep this thread going and active while not pushing ourselves too hard.

Any other ideas or suggestions on how we can run this? Who's in for 2015?

Good luck!


I won't be participating as I am trying to get through Game of Thrones before I die of old age.

lol









But yes, I am in to take part! I hope it works this time. xD

I figured giving ourselves almost a month to figure out how we're gonna do it may work better. Plus i made a pretty banner.

I plan on reading a book for every month at least so might as well have others join in. Heck Jinx, if it's only you and I, OH WELL.

Library!

[Pumpkin]

My car is broken







(that would cost more than the books)

Might be able to find some online depending what they are. Like Star Girl and the Giver I found online for freesies

I want to read Star Girl again now

I'd like to do this. It will be especially nice to avoid the classics since I tend to fall back on those a lot and end up not reading newer things as I should. I'll read literally anything the rest of you pick, so have at it.

I'd be happy to join in with this!

shion do you have a kindle or e-reader?

[krissy]

I suggest 'reading Lolita in Tehran'
it is sort of about classics so good start for a group that doesn't wanna read them

[Pumpkin]

I'd be happy to join in with this!

shion do you have a kindle or e-reader?

I do not, but I think I can read kindle books on my amazon account on the computer

[Night Fury]

You may be able to torrent some pdf files of books but shhhh I never said that >.>

I'm interested.

[Pumpkin]

Okay then I suggest Star Girl after krissy's book

Yes I have a Kindle which makes my ability to participate 100000000% easier. Because I make time to read, but not to go book shopping in a physical store, what with all the coffee smells and bright colors and too many people.

I suggest we read............ something! I'll have to think on it.
