Is there a book club here?

I’m just re-reading several classics and would enjoy a lively discussion.
I think there used to be a book sub-forum here but they probably got rid of it due to inactivity. There might be a book crew on The Great Indoors, but I don’t really go there so I don’t really know.
There’s some discussion about books in The Great Indoors on occasion.
I enjoy reading classic stuff to my son. We’ve read the Jungle Book, Wizard of Oz, and Treasure Island. Currently been reading him Hans Christian Andersons Fairy Tales. He loves them but they always make me cry. Especially "The Angel". I’ve also got a book of stories from different cultures all over the world that I used to read as a child. It’s neat that his favorite stories in it are the same as mine were when I was young.
If there isn’t, there should be. I burn through books like a Nazi party rally, and I could really use some people to bounce discussion off of about them.
There are a lot of book threads in various places. If I might be so bold, I suggest The Outer Limits if you want to discuss scifi/horror/fantasy books.
Anything else, here is as good a place as any – I have no objections, and the fact that this thread is still open suggests to me that FB hasn’t got any either.
Just make a thread about whatever book you’re reading. Or even a "book club" thread.
was looking for this type of thing.
book club it up bro, name a title
im so good at analyzing books ill blow all your minds
anyone here read King Rat? Just finished it, great book.
If anyone wants to make an official book club thread I’ll sticky it. I’ll leave it up as long as it has a decent amount of activity in it. The way we ran it in LAOT was to have a poll to vote on a book to read, then read the book while discussing it along the way. Our’s took off at first, but lacked direction and died (my bad). I also suspect not many people were dedicated enough to keep reading. I’ll take part in one if its made, but I don’t want to run it this time.
^ that sounds cool, the voting on a book. I’m looking for something new to read and it would be cool to read it along with some other ppl and talk about it here.
My next attempt to re-read a classic will be either:
To Kill A Mockingbird
The Dollmaker
Or what I’d really like to step into a group with:
A Tale Of Two Cities.
I’ve been re-reading Dune lately after reading Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72. I’m about to start reading Windhaven by George R.R. Martin, I wanted to read the Game of Thrones books written by him but they were all out of stock at the library, most likely because of the show. I’ve also been reading A Case For Mars by Robert Zubrin to help with research for a science fiction novel that I’ve recently begun working on, but the book is from the mid-90′s and I was hoping to find a more recent non-fiction book about Mars at the library with no luck.
tale of 2 cities seconded.
never read it
anyone read Dismantled? Thanks
girl told me it was good any of you guys read? lol
