It might be hit and miss, but the hits would be worth it, if you ask me. Legolas Send a noteboard - 09/11/2011 08:37:16 PM
Some of those others, especially the last one, I could participate in, if you wanted to expand it some. I had toyed with the idea of doing a smaller scale of what you and Greg did and do some sort of Latin American book club, but I suspect with the continued decline in activity that it'd end up being me writing a bunch of blog posts with the lack of discussion I'd suspect would take place. A shame, really.

The Russian Book Club had some months in which discussion never really got going, but there were also many discussions that were quite successful, and a few books that I and I'm sure many others continue to rank among my favourites (Fathers and Sons and Doctor Zhivago, in particular, but I liked Notes From the Underground and Boris Godunov a lot as well).

If the Latin American book club is the same way, it'd be well worth it imho, but then of course I'm not the one who'd be doing all the work (of course we'd certainly be willing to support you, help schedule, open discussion threads etc. , but I don't think any of us admins is sufficiently well-read in Latin American literature to really take the lead in organizing a book club).

Yes, he's a clearly step above Goodkind or Dan Brown. Tom - 08/11/2011 05:54:24 PM 716 Views
And a few steps down from Eco, Proust, Perec, and a few others I've read recently Larry - 08/11/2011 05:58:54 PM 741 Views

I'm not clear if you're trying to reference Dan Quayle or if you're really a complete moron. Tom - 14/11/2011 04:59:41 AM 644 Views
