So, I'm thinking about starting a little book club via this blog. The cold winter days seems an appropriate time to do so and I would like some motivation to push myself to read new books. The premise is simple: one book a month, the book will be announced at the beginning of the month, there will be a progress post partway through the month where everyone can check in to help keep us accountable and on track to finish, then the last Saturday of the month we'll discuss everything. If that pace is too slow it could be a book every other week...
I'm mostly interested in classics (Anna Karenina, anyone?), but as I'd love to have this be interactive I thought I'd accept votes/suggestions on this post and announce the first book next week. I'll host the first few book clubs and we can have most of the discussion here or on Facebook, but if it grows in the future we can look into forums and I'll welcome other participants to lead the discussion.
The point is merely to read more and engage in a fun, casual dialogue about novels we're all interested in.
So, please let me know if you're interested in participating and what novel(s) you think would be fun to tackle this winter.
