Would you participate in this book group?

[Libra]

Yes, each "round" will get you a new partner.

I'd like to get is started by the middle of August.

Litany's Shamelessly Stolen Genre Swap Group

Cool

Middle of Aug sounds good,by the time we get paired and choose the book it should be September.

I like this name,it suits the thief and the crime.:lol:

Wollmeise and qiviut only.

Doggonit...that stingy ol' Donald Trump won't lend me his checkbook.:banghead6mx:

I met Mrs Wollmeise on Friday. There was a whole wall of the stuff. Six month's worth of dyeing apparently.

I'm jealous. I've thought about trying my hand at kool-aid dying. One of these days...

 

[sparkchaser]

OK, the people that voted Yes and Stewart have been contacted.

 

[Reads to Sleep]

Oh oh, am I too late to join the party? I'll read just about anything except books about time management. Are we supposed to say what kind of books we usually read now, or do we bare our souls at a later date?

It does sound like fun but I think my life will catch up to me.

Thanks for the flowers! I liked McCullough's 1776.

Soul Baring Time: I read a lot of classic and modern lit, mysteries, nonfiction, criticism, and poetry.

I'm not interested in exploring popular fiction (Danielle Steele, Dan Brown, James Patterson).

I'd be lost in the wilderness if I wandered into the fantasy and sci fi sections of a bookstore. :blink: In those genres, I've read Philip K. Dick (love the man) and China Mieville (liked him, too). That's about it. I'd LOVE recommendations.

My soul is getting cold, and I need to cover up now. :blush:

 

[readsalot]

You know what, I change my mind, I have been meaning to read some books of a few diff genres anyway... so long as there's no set time limit I should be ok.

You both have PMs.

 

[readsalot]

Ha, I would prob like to try James Patterson.
Go figure.

 

[sparkchaser]

I'm going to kick this off sometime this week.

 

[Polly Parrot]

Aww, I can't join in. I'll be reading two books every week for uni starting in September. One is early 20th century American or British lit and the other medieval classics like "Roman de la Rose" and "Decamerone". Don't think anybody would read those in a voluntary sort of way anyhow.

You never know. Do you have your reading list yet? How do you know there isn't at least one title on someone's Bucket List? You know us, we're all a bunch of book geeks anyway. That's just how we roll:lol:

 

[sparkchaser]

Unlikely to work since pairings are pseudorandom.

I have a copy of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man waiting in the wings, and I might be interested in Passage to India and The Sound and the Fury. Pontalba assures me Faulkner is worth the effort.
