Like, we decide on a book, and all get it, and read it, and chew the fat about it. But we can read like... war books, and stuff with guns, or zombies, or whatever. I'm not putting much thought into this because the last time I had an idea nobody was interested. What do you think?

they'd kind of need to have some underlaying meanings, though, because otherwise we'd have nothing to talk about. Any of you big readers? Or moderate readers?

I used to be a big reader. Chapter or two before bed every night. Then, about a year ago, I just... stopped. About halfway through a book. Haven't read a thing since. I guess I just lost interest.

Have you read Monster Hunters International? It's a really good sci-fi book written by a total gun-nut and all of the gun details are spot on. The cover was even made by Oleg Volk.

Hm, I might have to look into that one...

EDIT: I thought I found it, but this book has a different cover and hasn't been released.

Are they the same?

Well, I just started on Politika by Tom Clancy. Actually, I'm kind of in the same boat as Fresnel.

So we already have a few people suggesting books. I guess some of you are on board with the idea?

If finding a suggested book at a bookstore is a problem for any choices, Amazon has darn near everything. And you can buy from ther Used and New section for often a penny plus shipping.

I don't know who we'll decide which book. Maybe we wait until Friday and roll a dice for the submissions?

I own Politika. Came with a game minidisk. Never read more than the back cover, even. The Power Plays series sounded SO BORING, but the book was a quarter...
