The last few months have been kind of slow as far as participation in the Book Club discussions. I kind of anticipated this with LitReactor starting up.

So, I'm putting the Book Club here on hold for now.

I'll be running LitReactor's Book Club - so participate in that one if you miss the discussions here. It'll be a good time - I promise!

Donald Ray Pollock's Devil All the Time will be moved to LitReactor and be February's book selection there.

If anybody has any questions - feel free to PM me about them.

Can you let us know here what's coming up on LitReactor's book club Pete?

Maybe just have one thread where every month you let us know what it will be?

Hey sure! No problem. Smile

Right now they are discussing The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides.

Next month's book is As a Machine & Parts by Caleb J. Ross.

Hey of course!

Thanks for the idea Sarah. I think I will sticky a thread up here in a month or two with the current discussion over there.

Damn - I'm away for a few months and everything changes! Wink

Sad to see the Book Club going on hold here, as you guys did so much for me back in July and I really, really appreciate all that.

Anyway, I guess it's about time I checked out this LitReactor thing...

HAPPY NEW YEAR, mates!

Have you started it yet? It's the same Ben Tanzer style from You Can Make Him Like You, but such a different tone. I keep thinking about when my grandpa died. I can't help it!

We are voting on June's Book. Thought we'd read a classic and Dakota and I couldn't decide.

Can I asked what you picked?

I haven't voted yet. I'm undecided. But I wouldn't mind reading any one of those books.

Thin Man. I haven't read it but I would like to.

Someone voted for Bradbury though and tied it again. Sigh.

I seriously didn't think Something Wicked would get any votes. I thought Hemingway and Bradbury would be close...

The Thin Man is one of my favorite books, but I've read it already. Same with 1984. I haven't read the others though.

I was going to vote Portrait of the Artist by Joyce. I've only read The Dubliners by him and I loved his style. I've been meaning to read Ulysses, but it's so much to tackle.

I'm reading The Thin Man right now!

It's about some Greek dude who won't put down the drink. I like it.

So I forgot to update this. We're currently discussing Jeremy Robert Johnson's We Live Inside You.

http://litreactor.com/discuss/may-12-book-club-selection-we-live-inside-...

Next month's book (due to an overwhelming landslide vote) The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett.
