FICTION OR NON let the games begin

I say we jump right in --- let's make this the real deal....fill our brains with titilating facts that we can ramble on about the next time we find ourselves in an elitist conversation......i am still thinking about my list, should have something to add tomorrow or later tonight

gaddis --- thanks for getting the blog together
this is my first
i feel so intensely cyber space connected

Yeah Book Club!

What's our first read? Who's team captain?

Book Nominations - Plans in Action (PiA)

Ok, so first order of business is some official book nominating. You should comment on this post when you reply (look at me and my blog speak!). SO let's limit the nominations to Top 4 Picks. Also, we should eventually look at what people have already read as a factor....For example, i would guess maybe half of us have read Kite Runner and therefore that might not be a good option...but we'll get there team. we will.

Ok, so nominate people! and please re-nominate even if you already send an email to the group. Let's get a book picked by the end of the day tomorrow??

I went abroad.

And therefore am particularly qualified-- and particularly excited-- for this book club blog.

Gaddis, thank you so much!
