Default Book Club: Part Deux

I know we tried this three years ago, and the thing that killed it was lack of discussion.

So, in this thread, I mentioned the idea of co-oping with another website I frequent called Colony of Gamers. My idea is that if we can get people from both websites interested in this, we'll have enough people to make it a worthwhile activity.

So, anybody interested?

Haha I'm actually reading Snow Crash RIGHT NOW. Never got around to it and sorry that I didn't, it's not bad.

I wish I had more time to read, but I simply wouldn't be able to keep a steady pace with ya'll.

The next book we were going to read was Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman, I even bought it, but now it is in a box somewhere to be moved when we finally sell our house. I'll gladly keep up with whomever.

I'm not the same as I was about the site -- there was a point where I wanted "hits." Now I just want somebody to get some use out of it. Even if just for you guys to all keep in touch with each other and me, I'm fine with that, that's why the doors are still open.

I might be interested. I read Snow Crash during the first attempt at this and even posted how I ultimately hated the book, though I was impressed with the authors vision of the future.

Anyway, I'll give it another go...

lol yeah ultimately I didn't like it either -- suppose it helps if the book rocks!

Just a heads up: There have been six total people, including myself, between 10tu and COG, that have expressed interest in this so far.

I'm going to leave this up, hope that people see it, and post if they're interested. I'll keep the topic on COG bumped too, and let you guys know what's going on.

If for whatever reason you want to check it out yourself; http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogfor...ad.php?t=16213
