The Musicbanter Book Club (1995)

I love this idea but I have a couple questions.

1. Are we going to put some dates on this?? Certainly a "Finish by" date and possibly a "alright we're all going to get after it" date?

I'm thinking if people know when the discussion will begin we can space our free time better. Also, I'm thinking we should try to avoid spoilers, no?

2. I don't know if the person recommending it could post a little blurb, not uncommon to whats written on the back or on amazon? Just so we know what we're getting into?

Again, I love this idea. I was looking for a site to do this on but why not with people we're open with?

As I said we're going to kind of structure it as we go. But I'm for making a separate thread, do we want to discuss the book as soon as we all finish and let people jump in as they complete it or in blocks?

How does an actual book club work?

I'm for starting together. I feel like people jumping in when they do will have about 8 conversations going on at once. I think that will be expected of novels we were discussing previously, but while its the topic at hand we ought to explore it till we're done.

Show up, discuss for a couple hours, grab drinks after.
