[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8234225, member: 50987"] A bit more about how this will work: Right now, we're in the "pick the books" phase of this little project. I'm asking everyone to nominate a book (or several books) that they would like to read and discuss as a group over the summer. So if you haven't done so already, please take a moment to read through the thread and upvote any books that you think would be interesting/enjoyable. Remember that we will be reading and discussing these books as a group over about 3 months...so take that into consideration before recommending a 1200-page masterpiece or a ten-book series. Pretend you're browsing a bookshelf at a friend's house. "Hmm...interested in reading that one...and that one...not that one...yes that one...don't care about that one so I'll skip it...interested in that one..." Toward the end of April, I'll collect the top results and compile them into a short list of 6-20, enough books to keep the average reader occupied through a summer. Then I'll start up a new thread in the Geek Talk and Media forum called "The ENWorld Summer Reading Group." And then--well, we read them. We start with the first book and work our way down the list, reading a book every couple weeks or so (depending on the page count), and chat/comment/critique/discuss it in the thread along the way. I hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am.
