COLD DARK ROOM

[kathyth]

Happy New year to Adam and all of the nice folks in the Cold Dark Room. I would really like to spend more time in here. I'm hoping that someone can install a small heating system or fireplace, in the corner. Just to get the temp to 70 F. I understand the need for darkness
I will leave a large pack of cheese on the table.

uh-oh...I'm starting the book club!?!?!?!? ....gulp!

That's what I get for opening my big fat mouth!

My "in person book club" sometimes picks painful books on occasion and I do love reading a book together and discussing.

I'm game if you and others are willing to participate and rotate book choices. Also, no one is allowed to shun me when I choose to pick brain-candy fantasy/sci fi novels. -My current book club doesn't appreciate these as well

i'm in as long as i can get a copy of it here.
I think it's worth a try.
Though reading by luminous jellyfish light is bad for the eyes.

Jellyfish light--ha ha!

So, a couple questions for you guys (@Tidgy's Dad & @jaizei and anyone else who's game)
Do you want the book to have its own thread in the book/media area of the forum, possibly one started by whoever suggests the book? Or would you rather we just mention it in here? I like the idea of adding another wing to the Cold Dark Room. -My only concern with this is that we'd have to tag other readers whenever anyone book-chats, or I know will miss it all.

My other book club gives a month for each book. Do we want a similar timeframe to complete our reading? I might need longer, because it's a struggle for me to have time to keep up with my reading as it is.

How do you want to start? The three of us each pick a book and claim a month that way we know it has to at least continue for three months?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I don't mind.
Everybody is welcome in The Cold Dark Room, but there are a few members who don't like to play here and it's an obscure place down the very bottom of the main page where some people never go.
if you just let people start their own thread for a book each time, you may end up with several rival threads running.
A dedicated Book Club Thread which continues book by book and month by month may be the better idea (though the CDR would be happy to host as i have said). The CDR posts may swamp the book club posts.
As for time to read the book, i don't mind again, but a novella like "A Christmas Carol" would take far less time than "War and Peace"! maybe decide book by book ?
Yes, if the three of us pick the first three and if it's successful, other people can suggest books for the following months.
And what about short stories ?

Hey everyone happy new year

Happy New Year Meech! Hope you are fully recovered (from your illness not NY Eve - unless it applies too)

My sister who hasn't seen many of the previous, said she really enjoyed it too.

I like short stories - they are on the lower shelves of the library so short story readers like myself can reach them.

Hmmm!
So tall tales are no good for you, then ?
Or high drama ?

Nope not unless I happen to have a ladder in my tights.
