Any takers? I'd love to do this if we could get together a group large enough, say seven or eight people. We could have the discussions here in OT, or maybe make it a private group.

That sounds interesting. Mainly because I need good books to read. But otherwise an interesting idea. I support it.

Yeah, sounds cool. I got a few books in my personal library that I wouldn't mind sharing.

It would depend on the books, and my spare time (or lack there of), but i am interested.

I'm in as long as all of the books aren't sci-fi.

Perhaps I should join to start reading again...but who decides what books to read? We vote?

With a Fantasy nut like me in there, it won't be. :D :D

I also don't think it would be a good idea to read political books, or accounts of history with a particular bias, because that would just turn into the Flamewar Club.

I wouldn't read something like that anyway honestly, waste of my time.

Ok, it seems like a lot of people are interested in this. My suggestion would be that we all recommend a book that we haven't read that looks interesting. They don't have to be Sci-fi or Fantasy. Each month we'll choose one and everyone reads it. After the first two weeks we'll begin discussing our opinions of the book.
