laurabzz Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 OK so I don't know who's in charge of these things but I'd love to have our Book Club alive again for the next challenge. Hope you (whoever usually does this) don't mind.Please post your suggestions for a book that we should read during the 6 week challenge! The suggestions close on Saturday 11pm (in London time, which is... 6pm EST time?) (if we get at least 3-4 suggestions by then) and then we'll do a poll to decide.Let's do this, nerds.

We've read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson in July's challenge, for example. Honestly, there is no specific criteria. It can fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, romance...

Raxie Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I've always wanted to be in a book club! I'd love to participate! I've already read Oryx and Crake and The Years of Rice and Salt... but I'd be willing to read them again because they're both freaking amazing. I've been wanting to read The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi. It won the Nebula Award and Hugo Award. Any takers?

Kalileko Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I can get them all on my library and havn't read any of the nominated so I'm in for whatever we decide! According to laurabzz's post we should apparently have a poll? I'm not really a deciderer..

Pretzle Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'd also like to join, I read (and read, and read) anyways so why not read something together? Anyone has goodreads, btw?

laurabzz Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I've got goodreads! Yeah I thought we'd do a poll once we get enough suggestions for a book. So far, I see: The Windup GirlOryx And CrakeThe Years of Rice And Salt any more suggestions?then we'll do a poll Quote Level 3 Adventurer.Current challenge: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/54178-laurabzz-sugar-free-adventure-time/Instagram: http://instagram.com/squeelaura Link to comment
Kalileko Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'm putting Baudolino by Umberto Eco in the mix to spice things up a bit. It's been sitting unopened on my bookshelf for 13 years! The poor book. I have goodreads. I only started it last month and am actually forgetting it too often still. Would love to use it more!

Pretzle Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Mine is over here. No suggestions at the moment, I checked my to-read list but... ehh, mostly hard-to-get-ahold-of things or too specific for a group read. Up for anything, though!

Thetemplarreservist Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Can't wait for the poll looking forward to picking up a book club for the next few months.

Kalileko Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Me too! I've yearned for a book club for a long time now! I've never actually tried one before so I don't really know what to expect and what others expect of me. But since it's you guys (I'm thinking of all rebels as my posse = not-scary) It can't go bad.

laurabzz Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Oooh cool we have 4 suggestions (hopefully the page count is somewhat similar) so i think I'm just going ahead with a poll. Nice to see some action here! I'm a president of a book club in real life and we're currently reading Slaughterhouse-Five by K. Vonnegut That reminds me, I need to start reading it... Anyway! Books are freaking awesome. Ok, I'm going to make a poll then.
