I was wondering what you all would think of starting a guild "book club"-type thing? It would be convenient if the books to read were in the public domain, so everyone could have access to them no matter where they live, but I'm not sure what kind of works would be good for book clubs...Anyway, thoughts, suggestions, and any sort of comment on the idea would certainly be welcomed.

And what about logistics?

Well, depending on if the stories are longer or shorter, maybe a week or two, or monthly?

And probably something we find on the internet, since, well...obviously we all have access to internet.

I'm so glad you guys like the idea! whee

It depends how many times the club would discuss a book before they finish it. Depending on the chapter and book size, it could be one chapter every week or two, or it could be once a month to discuss a whole book...I really haven't thought it out much, I just thought it would be fun to do...What does everyone think would be best?

Hm...maybe about once a week, chapter by chapter? Or maybe longer, depending on if the chapters are long or whatever

Yeah, that sounds good...Now we just need suggestions on what to read, and then we can vote on them or something.

I would, but I think I'm usually too busy with college and things to head it.

I was thinking more like "People put out suggestions for books, we vote on one, we all read it (or read the same chapter), and then discuss it" kind of thing, but that could work too.
