I love the idea of a book club - count me in! A friend told me last Thursday that I HAD to read the Outlander series. I downloaded the first book on Friday, but will hold off on reading it, just in case it is one that we read. Luckily, my little Emerson has no shortage of books waiting for me....
In the meantime, I leave for a week in Belize on Saturday, and plan on reading The Princess Bride on the flight down. Can't wait to have a whole week of beach time with my downloads!

I tried to create a book club, but I never found a good way to stick the covers together and the pages fluttered around every time I swung it, creating wind resistance and making it completely ineffectual against my enemies.  |

At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.

Ahhh... but ask yourself: What would you do without me?  |

You continue to amaze me Harvey, the capability to chat would be awesome. I love it here, I love it here. Thanks for all your dedication and hard work!
I knew Harvey was working on chat capability due to our super secret moderator meetings, but I didn't want to commit him to anything he wasn't ready for.... Harvey, we are talking about starting this after the holidays, if everyone can wait that long...sounds like Outlander is a definite for a book or book. Betsy |

It is in the post where you added book links. Not sure where that is but they are beautiful, maybe bargain books.  |

You just don't have the proper balls to go with those clubs. That's why it never worked for you.  So, if we do Outlander, do you want to use my discussion questions? Betsy, I can e-mail them to you so you can look them over. |

Betsy, I can e-mail them to you so you can look them over. Sounds good to me, I guess you're going to be the Leader of that Book Club? You can email me the questions, not that I need to review them but just so I have an idea for other Book Clubs of what goes on since I've not done this before. I'd be interested. I'll PM you my email address. Betsy |

Not a problem. I love this series and it was one of the first things I bought when I got my Kindle. (I also have the entire unabridged audio version). Luckily, they're not too expensive (the Kindle version, not the CDs) |

Sure, I'll be glad to do it if that's okay with everyone. I'd rather do it on the message boards. Chats can be hard to keep up with. |

None of my Kindle books have the discussion questions. We could possibly let the leader buy the DTB for the questions. I'm assuming we will have different leaders for different books, or how does that work?
