I'm pretty sure I won't have time to participate, but my vote is for Catcher in the Rye. But that's just because I'm in the middle of it right now.

That one was... interesting.
I've been reading a lot of older literature lately. Wilde, Stevenson, Irving, Doyle. Meh.

Just to clarify, everyone is supposed to be voting on one of the books JD posted in his last post on page one to be our first selection. When should the voting close and the reading begin?

If we're voting from JD's list, I'll vote for Lord of the Flies, since I haven't read it. I suppose we should leave the voting open for a few more days so everybody has a chance.

Okay - since several people said they're willing to go with my suggestion and read Lord of the Flies we'll do that. Sorry I just got around to replying - I actually didn't see any e-mails notices.
Since it's Sunday right now - how would starting it Tuesday or Wednesday be? Also, now that we made our choice - who is in for reading this? I haven't read it and I've wanted to - so that's why picked it. I do have the movie though.

Anyone interested in reading and participating in the discussion of Lord of the Flies - I have started the Lord of the Flies - Entmoot Book Club Discussion
Please only discuss the book in the appropriate book thread. This thread will be reserved as a general meeting thread - so if you have any suggestions - please discuss them here. If you feel the format isn't going right - please don't hesitate to make your ideas known to the group. This is a work in progress - so I'm sure there will be changes made as we work out the logistics. If people are going on vacation or anything and would like the group to hold up before going onto the next chapter - please let everyone know by posting here.

I've got the book, and will start it tonight.
A couple of questions: Was it decided to start new threads for the book club discussions, rather than use the existing thread about the book? Just curious. Also, how will we know when we can start posting discussion in the thread (are we all waiting to post until a certain date, or do we jsut post when we finish the ch)? Sorry I keep asking questions, I just like to make sure I'm totally clear on everything. |

I just wanted to post and say that I read the first chapter of Lord fo the Flies Friday night. Didn't know who was on board with this thing. Hopefully we have enough people. If not - it might be just you and I Azaela.

I actually read ch. 1 Wed. night, but I've been so busy since then (out of town for a day, etc.) that I haven't had much posting time. I'll be posting there tonight or tomorrow, and hopefully others will join in after it's started. Otherwise, to them! |

I've read chapter one as well, but I'll wait for somebody else to start the discussion.
