Worth doing!

Greetings everyone, I’m a long time member of 43things. With some of the skills I’ve learned in my “things” over the past few years, I’ve acquired the skills to build things on the web. One of them happens to be an online space for creating book clubs.

It’s called Booksprouts, and it’s designed so that people can create a book club, invite friends, create meetings, and discuss and review books online. Anyway, it’s all pretty new and we’re pretty excited to get it online. We’d really like to get some people to use it and let us know what they think about, and garner suggestions! It’s all pretty new so criticism and broken pieces noted would be really helpful.

You can check it out at: http://www.booksprouts.com

Cheers and happy reading!

Worth doing!

Our first selection: Three Cups of Tea. I thought our discussion would stay on topic (i.e., the book) for maybe 20 minutes and then, we would veer off onto other, more mundane gossip. Our group surprised me and we ended up talking about the book for nearly 2 hours!

Our next selection: TBD, but it will be fiction.

I’m a big reader – I love SF, YA and classics. However, I’m rather introverted and solitary. I need to get out more. =| I am committed to joining a book club.

I have always wanted to join a book club to hear people’s thoughts and opinions and to have a hobby that I can share with others.

I propose an online book club for anyone who’s interested. We can set up some sort of chat room and collectively choose a book. I mean, everyone wants to read and everyone’s already online dicking around anyway… We could just use some of that pooly allocated time online to a book club that we all want to be a part of. Any takers?

Joining a book club would encourage me to read more and feel comfortable expressing myself in a group setting more.
