titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted June 1, 2018 I know I know. I'll probably get laughed out of the room for this. But I'm used to it. The book thread got me noticing there are more readers with similar tastes than I thought. I was thinking perhaps a few people might like to do this. Basically, each month, we would read a different book. We could either take turns selecting books, or everyone nominate one each month and we vote to determine which one we read. Then we read it, discuss, etc. Any interest at all? And yes, phag, I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have an ebook reader and can get stuff off of piratebay and onto it. It's far more of a problem for my kids, the people who load stuff onto piratebay don't have much interest in children books.

Ive become a recluse this year. I never go out. Ever. My school, I am the only foreigner. So many days, the only competent English I exchange all day is with the fiancé. That and you people. So I read constantly. Im beginning to fear my eyes wont take it much longer. I constantly have eye strain headaches. Ive always done that though. Even as a kid, I read constantly.

Bill E. 666 Posted June 1, 2018 Yea I would give it a try. I am so into my books that I know there is a lot of different stuff out there I should try. Let's do the Song Ice and Fire series first.

dain11279 928 Posted June 1, 2018 Why wait till after the first book? Why wait at all? I wish I could have the patience to read books more. It feels more like a project to me, which is sad because I usually ending up enjoying most that I read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
