How about a book club?

So I was thinking: I know a bunch of smart, well-read folks and there are few things I like better than talking about a good book. Or even a bad book. I looked around for some local book clubs but they each had aims that were too specific for what I’m interested in. They were either women-only clubs clubs that only discussed science fiction or fantasy or romance or mystery or the “classics” or whatever. Well, I like to read many different genres. So I came up with the idea of creating my own book club. I tried to do this a few years back on RMP but it didn’t work out. Which shouldn’t have been surprise considering it was RMP.

So what do you guys and gals think? Would you be interested in participating in an online book discussion group moderated by yours truly? Maybe this idea is like a dream – only interesting to the guy who dreamed it up. But I really do think that we could have some good discussions. So let’s talk about it. If you are interested how would you like for it to work? I figured we’d use this blog for the discussions but if you have a better idea then I’m all ears.

This is something that I think could be really cool. Hopefully you think so to.

call for links and another new idea

If any of you kind folks know of some good links to websites about writing, reading, books in general, music, movies, etc that aren’t listed on the right under “blogroll” or “del.icio.us,’ let me know. I’m something of a research geek.
