Now that school is out, it would be great to read a really good fiction and a really good non-fiction book. Any suggestions?

Book update. It's been a busy month or two, so my reading has slowed down. In April I spent time in three states besides my own, and continued the uphill battle to graduate. The semester ends a week from yesterday, so hopefully I will have more brain space available for reading soon. In the meantime, what fluff have I been enjoying?

joyce has been very busy with school and work, and I haven't been on LJ as much, so our winter break has extended much longer than originally intended. Is anyone still out there? Are you interested in discussing some books? If so, please comment! It would be useful if you answered the following questions ( Read more... )

[admin] an official announcement

Dearest fellow readers,

This is the formal announcement that joyce & I are, in fact, taking a break from the book club.

Why?

Participation has been low, which limits conversation, which makes things less interesting, which lowers participation. This is obviously something of a downward spiral. If people were clamoring to participate, joyce or I would ( Read more... )

reminder - read Rebecca :)

Ho there, fellow readers!

I hope you all are well?

I picked up a copy of Rebecca yesterday, while visiting a friendly, locally owned, bookstore. Thought it might be a good idea to remind y'all that that's what we're reading this month. No date is set yet for discussion, so you have some flex time, but if you haven't already gotten a copy of ( Read more... )

I seem to recall at least one person saying they had already finished Kafka on the Shore... anyone want to lead off the discussion?

REMINDER - read Kafka on the Shore

Hey folks,

This is a pre-discussion nag, reminding you that we're aiming to discuss Kafka on the Shore in a week & a half. Read up!

cheers,

1. We're over here discussing The Tipping Point. If you've just finished the book, please, weigh in.

2. July's book was scheduled to be Kafka on the Shore. Seeing as how it's the end of July already, we're going to push Kafka back to August 9th or so, then take the rest of August off and do Rebecca at the end of September. August is normally ( Read more... )

The Tipping Point

When I read non-fiction, the thought that always goes through my egotistical head is "how does this apply to me?" At first I was put off by the book because I thought it was basically a motivational sales manual--a "how to" on selling stuff. But as I got further into it, I started getting interested in his theories a little more, and wondering ( Read more... )
