Let's do it! we should get a Utahby5 book club going.... could be a lot of fun. one person picks a book per month. coordinate an hour each month to have that person lead us in a discussion by teleconference. I would definitely be very much down with that.Originally Posted by Utebiquitous
Not a book, but a fascinating read nonetheless:
M.I.A. - Half a century ago, an American commando vanished in the jungles of Laos. In 2008, he reappeared in Vietnam, reportedly alive and well. But nothing was what it seemed.

you, me, and utebiquitous. we are really getting tons of support for this. I think we should have a book a month, chosen by a member of the club, with discussion throughout the month on a thread dedicated to that book. who wants to go first?
I'm sure we could get LA Ute, USS and a few others. Fun idea. I may be a little reluctant to discuss via teleconference. Alternatively, we could post some comments/questions as we go along and some wrap up discussion here on the forum. Anyway - love the idea and would definitely participate.
I'm in. Maybe just virtual discussion online would work?

It would depend on the books. I have a wide range, but not just anything will work for me.

let's do it. you can jump in if you like the book and add to the discussion. You also read more abundantly than many of us so we may go much slower than you. who knows. I like the idea of digital group where we pose questions, offer thoughts, and discuss.
Can I go first?
Dive in!
I'm still slogging through Dickens' "Dombey and Son," and I doubt anyone else will be interested in that one (I can barely get through it myself).
