Tomorrow I will have a poll with all of the books mentioned in the thread, so if you have a book in mind, (preferably one that you haven't read) suggest away.

i think you should choose new books so that less people will have read them. a lot of people have read the ender's game series and catch-22 already.

American Psycho - Brett Easton Ellis
The Confidence-Man - Herman Melville
Moby Dick - Herman Melville
Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte

However, personally I prefer non-fiction
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.

The only way this will ever work is if 1-2 people take charge and pick the book. Don't do polls.

Polls could help in the beginning just to find out the general interest of the group that is going to participating... Say we decide to read fiction... then perhaps follow that up with a poll on the genres of choice... and then we rotate through a few genres or something with 1-2 people picking books that way...

Theres plenty of ways for this to work, just need to be organized.

I'll read anything that sounds interesting... I'm down with just about anything but a romance novel.


edit: How does a book club normally work? lol.

I would like to sign up.
Starting up with Ultimate hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy or Foundation series would be good.

Alright, poll for the first book in the OP.

After this we will have until DECEMBER FIRST to get and read the book. I will make a new thread once the book is decided, lets say 24 hours from right now.

Next books will be decided by a group of 'leaders' I think, but we have time to figure that out.
