Welcome to our Book Club Blog!!

We now have a blog for our book club. I hope you like the name of it. We can use this blog to decide on the books we read, date of the meetings and where. We can also post links to questions, keep our running book list, and lots more. As we go along, we can make changes and decide what is the best way to use this. The main hope is that this will eliminate the endless e-mails to our indecisiveness!!

Its a Go

So, its seems like there is interest in book club before the end of the year, and picking a new, shorter book is good. So, I am adding TWO polls on the side...
1. Pick a date - I added a bunch of dates in mid-November. Both during the week and on the weekend. Please select any and all days you are available.
2. Pick a book - So that we actually have time to get and then read our books, I put two of the books in the poll. I know not everyone gave suggestions and input, but in the interest of time, I'm just going with the books I found and the suggestion that was given.

For both polls, majority will win. Its a given that not everyone will be available. The reality is if we continue to try and find a date where EVERYONE is available, book club will just continue to be pushed off, later and later and the likelihood we actually have one is slim. So, let's just go with whatever date the MOST people are available.

2009 final book

Sorry for not doing this sooner....but, there appears to still be interest in having a book club. And if people are interested, we could plan one final get together before the end of the year.

Here are my thoughts...If we pick a new, somewhat short book, we could meet in right before Thanksgiving (Sat Nov 21 or Sun Nov 22) . If that weekend doesn't work, we could always pick a weeknight evening, which might be more flexible, especially if we pick the date in advance.


Books with less than 200 pages

Here are two books I found quickly:

Night 128 pages
Animal Farm - 140 pages

Any other suggestions? How is the date? Do we actually what to do this before the end of the year?
