50books_pocFirst off, please suggest a book for the book club. Suggest any book you like that fits into this community. Comment with the title, author, and a few lines of what the book is about and/or why you think the book club should read it. Concise is good, but write as much as you need to say. (You can include other information you think might be relevant - price and availability, for instance.) It can be a book you've read before or not.
There is no obligation involved in the book club -- I assume everyone's involvement will depend on the book choice, and that free time constraints will affect your decision to start and your ability to finish the book.
Here is my plan.
In a few days -- I am thinking Sunday evening -- I will post a list of the suggestions and depending on the number of suggestions, I may grab a few ideas from the recs post, or add some of my own. I will post the title/author/summary of all the suggestions, and then a poll with all the options. We will all vote on the book.
In that same post, I will post a poll on when the Livejournal discussion post should go up and, if we decide to also do a chat, when the chat might be.
A few days later, I will announce the book choice based on the poll, and when the LJ post (and maybe also chat) will happen. Then, if all goes to plan, I will no longer bother the community until it's time for the LJ discussion post.
One more quick poll. Note there will for sure be an LJ discussion post.
[Poll #1364070]
If you would be interested in organizing a book club meeting -- however you see fit -- for May or June, please let me know.
Comment if you have more ideas, concerns, or questions. Feel free to link. Thanks!
