Count me in dude, this is a dope idea. We can get together and chat about the book, but its really just a ruse to gossip about neighborhood goings on and how larry is fucking his accounting clerk.
I really am down to do this. As for the rest of the questions,no idea dude.
As long as we aint reading sexually charged romance novels im not picky and dabble in a bunch.
There's a gateway in our minds
That leads somewhere out there, far beyond this plane
Where reptile aliens made of light
Cut you open and pull out all your pain

Cool shit dude!! Let's do this!!!
1.) Depends how often people want to read or have time to read. I'd throw out like one book a month, almost anyone could manage that. But if people need more/less time, we could figure it out. Also, some books are bigger than others, you could figure out a time for each book. Think something like "Under the Dome" to "Lord of the Flies" for example. It would take up to a month for Under the Dome, when most people could read Lord of the Flies in a day or two.
2.) I'd rather do a talk about it on here, but could manage a webcam. I just never use mine, I find this easier. But whatever people prefer I guess. We could also just do both.
3.) We can all agree on some dope shit or could take turns in picking them. One thing to keep in mind is some books are harder to get than others, and if a book is only in hardcover at the moment it could cost anywhere from $28-$35. Not everyone will want to go out and spend that, or even have to go out to get it at wherever your bookstores are. I say that because up here bookstores are kinda few and far between, most went out of business when Kindle came along. I don't really prefer Kindle, but it's simple as fuck to download books, if someone was looking to avoid going out altogether. They're also cheaper. Members could also set up a Kindle Cloud and everyone can read and share the same books. Not exactly sure how it works, but people I work with do it. I can find out. Then only one person would have to buy the book, and everyone could read it. Just a thought for people who may like and enjoy Kindle, I personally don't like it but millions of other people prefer it. Just a thought.
4.) This should be the FLH Book Club motto.

I'm down. Hard to find time to read with kids always needing me but if y'all highly recommend something I'll make time. Plus I'll be camping a lot soon so a book would be swell. Anyone on Goodreads? I have an account but haven't been on it in months. Forgot my name and password.
Okay I figured it out. I'm under "Brett M."... 30/m .. I think that's how I'm found through the search on Goodreads. Weird thing? I mentioned the site a few hours ago and guess what site emails me for the first time in months? Yup lol.. its a sign.

Of course @entrappedmind, more the merrier. Bring yo bad ass self to the book club.
@old-mr-dangerous, have you ever thought of ignoring your kids? Try it out, you'll probably like it. Practice this "Can't you see I'm reading?" You'll be good to go, and before you know it, you'll be ready to forget them, just like your name and password.

Ive tried ignoring them, kicking them, broiling them, mailing them to Abu Dhabi... nothing works but imma keep trying.
Which begs the cannibal question:

@old-mr-dangerous, hahahahaha, That was wicked funny.
@piggofdoom, it could be that you're reading books that you don't like all that much. I used to have the same problem with books in school and shit, if it was something I had to read or just wasn't into, it was more of a chore than anything else. Maybe if you had a really bad ass book that you couldn't wait to get to the end of to see hoe everything turns out, it would be different. Or maybe not, just a thought. Hey, that rhymed.

Even with books I like. It's like... When I am reading on a website or a test, I can skim past quickly and pick Up all of the information, but with books I have to go word by word and go back and reread.

Stephen King himself admits to being a slow reader. But he's frequent. I'm kinda slow usually. I like to reread sentences that hit me in the taint, And to appreciate sentence structure and page geography. When I was younger I'd read fast but not retain the details, and even miss crucial events in the plot. You can be taught to speed read and retain the info. My mom was taught but didn't keep up on it and eventually lost the ability.
