[EN World Book Club] Suggestions & Selectors

[nHammer]

Is anybody interested in keeping the book club going on another message board while ENWorld isn't around?

If so where?

I had the same thought, but it now appears that EN World will stick around without interruption.

With a very busy week (birthday, sick wife, halloween with my 3 kids, hopefully a halloween-themed game night if the wife is better by Thursday, and work somewhere in the mix), I am going to be cutting it close on finishing Tigana. Nevertheless, I will start the discussion thread this weekend.

As for the next victim, umm, I mean, selector, the lucky person is zenld.

zenld, please be ready to post your selection no later than November 1st.

Has anyone heard from/seen zenld recently? I want to make sure he's seen that he's the next Selector. I tried to email him and private message him, but he's got both turned off. zenld, if you're out there, please wave.

Never mind.

Never mind.

Oh ye of little faith....

Seriously, I'm blown away by the response and the amount of funds that were collected!

 

[Sam]

Haven't heard from zenld. I'll give him another day to post his selection. If I don't hear from him, I'll post a selection (since other selectors may not have had enough time to choose a book).

Also, if you haven't seen it, the discussion of Tigana has started. You can find it here: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=68039

sorry. zen has been busy. today is posting day. i will have a selection by tomorrow.

again, profound apologies.

Not sure whether too many of you will have already read it, but I am a cyberpunk fan, so Gibson gets the nod.

Pattern Recognition by William Gibson.

I think it is only out in hardback right now, but is only about $19 from Amazon. Also, it is new enough, it should be readily available from local libraries. If this poses a problem for anyone, please let me know.

Sorry about the delay. Also, I don't know why it wont let you email me, it should be working. If it continues to be a problem, here is the address.

zenld@yahoo.com
aim: gml access

please feel free to contact me at any time.

Happy Reading!

Great. Thanks. I like Gibson; should be a nice change of pace.

On the email thing, your profile isn't set up to receive private messages (here at EN World) or to forward any message to your email. Check the your profile settings.

The first post of this thread has been updated with the selection and also has a link to the Tigana thread.

Discussion on Pattern Recognition will start on/about Jan 1, 2004.
I'll post the next "selector" on/about Dec 1, 2003.

Ah HA! I just finished that about a month ago

Well... maybe two. If you're familiar w/ Gibson, I did find it to be a bit different that his other cyberpunk stuff, but that's all I'll say until discussion.
