Any Interest in a Geek Book Club?

Recommended Posts

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.

We'd all agree to read the same book, discuss the book, and take turn nominating books.

 

I'd be fine with that.

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.

Try library genesis.

I have far more luck finding specific things there than Pirate Bay.

Raider hater seems to be a no... filthy ambiguous.

 

Oh, I would suggest for the sake of harmony we steer clear of politics. We get enough of that here no?

He told us that he doesn't like reading very much, perhaps we can cure him.

 

I use to read a lot but since I came overseas, not so much.

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.

Get an ebook reader. I have a Kindle that I bought here in Panzhihua. It has no backlight, it's like reading a book, not a phone or computer screen.

I bought a kindle a couple of months ago. Its my new favorite toy. Much better than reading on my phone. The backlight is nice too.

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. About 20,000 pages and the ending will never be written. JK..

Sorry but I posted in the wrong thread (thought it was 'What books have you read' one). I'd be a poor member of that club.

Why wait at all? :wub:

 

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.

Will there be a book report? do I have to read them or can I do what I did in high school and use the back of the book as my book report and fail?

Trying to stick it out through a book that just doesnt do it for you is torture. I discard books a lot if it just doesnt grab me.

I can't read, so I'll need Titans to read aloud while I follow along. Books with pictures are a plus.

 

There's a 90% chance I won't follow through, but fock it, I'll try anything once.

I read it, liked it, and mentioned that here.

 

Might have even done so after you suggested it. Not sure exactly.
