Lemonwalrus United States5465 Posts December 03 2009 02:05 GMT #1 Discussion thread up: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=108207 Start time pushed back to December 20th Alright, so when my finals are over in about a week I am going to read "World War Z: An Oral History of The Zombie War", and I figure maybe some of you want to read it too, and discuss it. So I am making it the second book for the TL book club. (I figure this is a good time for it since most people are going to be starting winter break soon.) So if you want to join up with this, get your hands on the book before Sunday, December 20th, as that will be the official start of the book club. FORMAT Here is the (tentative) format for reading/discussion in the discussion thread (which I will make later on). Part 1: Chapters 1 & 2: Introduction & Warnings Pages 1-44 (44 pages total) Read 20th-21st, discussion on the 21st & 22nd. Part 2: Chapters 3 & 4: Blame & The Great Panic Pages 45-104 (59 pages total) Read 22nd-23rd, discussion on the 23rd & 24th. Part 3: Chapters 5 & 6: Turning the Tide & Home Front USA Pages 105-186 (81 pages total) Read 24th-27th, discussion on the 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th. Part 4: Chapter 7: Around the World, And Above Pages 187-269 (82 pages total) Read 28th-29th, discussion on the 29th & 30th. Part 5: Chapters 8 & 9: Total War & Good-byes Pages 270-342 (72 pages total) Read 30th-31st, discussion 31st till whenever. For each discussion period everything up to and including the chapters for that part is fair game, so if you only read the first chapter of a part, read the thread at your own risk as there may be comments on the chapter you didn't read yet. Discussion format is pretty lax, just comment on what you feel like, I'm sure there will be much to discuss. Use this thread to discuss whether or not you are participating and why, and if you like the format or think I should change it.

Slithe United States985 Posts December 03 2009 02:10 GMT #4 I heard very good things about this book. I may just have to go get a copy and join in on this session. I've never done these book club things before, is it typical to have only 2 days per part?

Lemonwalrus United States5465 Posts December 03 2009 02:11 GMT #5 I'm kinda making it up as I go, so if you think we should change it suggest so and we can discuss it in this thread.

Dknight United States5223 Posts December 05 2009 19:10 GMT #18 I'd do this if it was pushed up about ten days. I have five finals pretty much from the 14th to the 20th and I already have enough distractions. =[

littlechava United States7216 Posts December 05 2009 19:24 GMT #19 oh yeah, I have finals then too. push it back imo.
