Read with TIP! (AKA book club)

smock.smock · January 2012

Hey TIP. Who likes books? I bet some of you like books.

And who likes book clubs? I know I do.

So let's make some magic, and read a book together. Then, we'll meet in a magical cyber land to discuss the book, where we can drink wine and feel smart.

Any takers? The book club executive committee (me, imoan and Muddled) discussed reading a classic that most of us haven't read--we were thinking My Antonia by Willa Cather. Thoughts?

I wanna join!!!!

Muddled · January 2012

The real question is: How could anyone not want to make magic with us?

I would like to discuss the anti-broc conspiracy, since you all clearly knew I'd want to participate.

If you want to join the executive committee, all you have to do is send me cash (or money order). In return, you will receive a commemorative tote.

(disclaimer: tote may or may not be a plastic grocery bag from target)

I'm in! I was given a hand-me-down Nook, and am looking for ideas to download. What's the timeframe on finishing each book?

And note that the t in "target" isn't even capitalized. So what it really will be is a chintzy azz bag from her local gas station that she writes "target" on in black Sharpie.

broccolitree · January 2012

Vast internet conspiracy!

Free book to discuss? Sounds fabulous! What kind of timeframe are we looking at?

imoan · January 2012

We're thinking a month. The TIP Book Club Executive Committee is currently discussing. Please hold.

There may or may not be a honeybun in the sharpie'd gas station bag.

So how about our first meeting will be in the first week of February? The executive committee is taking input on timing: would a weeknight be better for people? Weekday? (p.s. no one say "wednesday night" or imoan will know you are personally targeting her.)

I prefer a weeknight. Tuesdays are bad for me though. I likely can't participate during the day.

Thursday? Or do people still consider Thursday part of the weekend?

LOL - Thursday hasn't been part of my weekends for many, many years. In fact, going with that thought of the weekend, nothing is like that for me anymore ;-)

I know. How about Wednesday? I hear that's a good day.

BookMaven · January 2012

I'm in!

I flew through coments and someone said 'conspirators' and I read it as 'vibrators.' I haven't actually gone back up to see if I'm wrong or just horny.
