Alternatively, the thread could be linked to both here and on the Selections/Suggestions thread.

That means that someone's gotta run around through all previous Book Club threads to put those links in. That's exactly the hassle I was trying to avoid.

If there's only one Book club thread active at a time, and previous ones are locked, then a new person needs only find the most recent Book Club thread to find whatever information they need, and the folks in charge only ever need to put new information in one thread.

Re: Re: jester47 has spoken!

Sam, for the Book Club you might want to take a tidbit from the Hivemind - one thread at a time. That way you won't have to chase around through all the possible Book Club threads to make sure that everyone will get the message. If there's only one place to get Book Club news, then folks will find it.

I had thought of that. I think we should keep somewhat separate threads though for this reason. The Suggestions & Selectors threads is for book suggestions and people to sign up as an editorial member. That thread should continue, through the various discussion threads that come and go. I kind of view this thread as the "administration" thread, though suppose it can be merged with the suggestions & selectors.

No real strong views either way on the issue though.

And I agree with Dacileva's point on subscribing to threads. Makes it very easy to determine when something's been updated.

With links, though, and subscription, that's pretty easy. And we don't need to add the links to all Book Club threads. Just keep two active: the main one for general Book Club discussion, including the links to all specific threads, and the current discussion thread. The previous discussion threads don't really need to be linked to the current discussion thread.

Getting close to beginning the conversation on the first selection, Dragondoom by Dennis L. McKiernan. Jester47, when you're ready, could you start a new thread with a title along the lines of "[ENWorld Book Club - September] Dragondoom Discussion".

I guess I have to finish the book this weekend (about 80 pages to go).

And please link it here and/or the suggestions/selectors thread, for those of us (like me) who don't use these forums for much of anything else?

I have to finish it this week end as well. I only have 400 pages to go. Sadly I'm not joking. I'm SO behind. I was only just able to get the book.

I'm still going to participate in the discussion. I don't mind spoilers.

Well, I've only got 300 pages to go, so your not alone. I haven't had much time to read this month. I'm trying to catch up, and will probably just join the discussion late, since I don't like book spoilers.

Umm... what happened to the bookclub thread(s). I thought today was supposed to start the discussion of the first book and I can not find a current thread. HELP?!?!

I was waiting for jester47 to start the thread, as it was his selection. If he doesn't start one by tomorrow, I'll open one up.
