MFP Book Club - October

Fitness_Chick

GIRL YOU ROCK for taking on us all ....this should be fun, heading to the library this afternoon before my wa-wa class:drinker:

Is it too late for me to join? I'd love to pick out a book one day

I'll order this book with my next check. I've been thinking about it for a while...a girl in the hospital with me back in Nov was reading it and seemed to enjoy it.

You're on the list.




And since I'll never have time to email everyone individually, here is the list of members I have currently:

sounds good, i may not be able to participate this month, have a lot of personal stuff hindering me from getting to do some of the fun things i want, but if i get to read it i will join in the discussion:happy: , and i think stepping out of your normal reading selection is a good way to broaden your mind and tastes, so i'm hoping i get time to read it, plus i know when i get the chance to pick a book alot of people may not normally read it, but i hope everyone participates if they can

EDIT:
I do think the club voting is a great idea, but I know that I don't have time to put it together monthly. It would require (at least, in my mind) sending every member an email, asking for their response within a certain time frame, and then compiling results. Again, great idea but I know I won't be able to handle that task. If a majority of people like that idea, and someone else is willing to take on that task, I'd be glad to institute it for next month. However, I'd need everyone's response that quickly so I can let next month's book selector know I need three choices. SO IF YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR ONE OF THREE SELECTIONS EACH MONTH, SPEAK UP NOW!! :bigsmile:

I agree that the task of agreeing and/or voting on a book would be ardous. I LOVE books, but realistically, there are some I just don't want to read. Marely and Me is one I would NEVER pick-up, because it doesn't fit my personal taste. But that is okay, I don't expect every choice to fit my taste. I am postive we could all chose a book and someone would say this is not for me. And that is okay.

For example, I would choose The Vagabond or Cheri/The Last of Cherie by Sidonie Gabrielle Colette. I know Colette is not for everyone! :laugh: she definatley wasn't for everyone in her own time!!:laugh:

People are free to choose whether to not they want to participate, and one does not need to complain about the selection. Besides, if I understand the "rules" choice of a month's selection will rotate among memebers. It seems quite fair and reasonable. I look forward to discovering next month's selection.

If you are reading a great book, then by all means share in a seperate post! :bigsmile:

Picked up the book from the library on the way to the gym...YAY I'm ready to read! I was a bit confused by all the copyrights as the library had it under a few different names but the pup on front matches mine on my book...so I'm set:laugh:

Have fun all...either reading what you're reading now or joining us this month with Marley and Me ......& Me too!:laugh: :noway: :yawn: :yawn: <~~can ya tell?:laugh: :yawn: :drinker:

John Grogan was on an episode of the Dog Whisperer. He has a new lab that Caesar worked with. I love that show!

I'd love to join but I have too much physiology reading to do LOL:grumble:

I read chapters one and two last night. I think this is going to be fun.

I read chapters one and two last night. I think this is going to be fun.

Aw crap, I gotta get on the ball and start reading!!

Actually, can I count reading while sitting on a stability ball as exercise? :laugh:
There's a guy at my gym who READS while he does CRUNCHES! I think that would make me a little sea-sick!:sick:

destiny_206

I am in I am always up for something new, the title is not one I would have chosen on my own but I will give anything a page or two and most things 50 pages, if by 50 pages I dont love it though its out. I am glad this is finally going, I will go get the book from the used book store tomorrow or maybe the libray well see. Hope everyone is doing great, Happy Reading.

If I can get to town to get the book I will. My car is in the shop and has been for a week now so if I dont get hubby to use his dads jeep so I can take his truck I am stuck on the mountain. Hopefully my library has this book. Really small town here.

I'd like to join the group. I have a feeling this book is going to make me cry but what the heck!

Phoenix_Rising

BUMP.

Two more days to read!

Book discussion opens Sunday, October 5 (although you can always join in as you finish the book or even before you finish).

That made me LAUGH OUT LOUD.
I am a cat person myself. Trying to read something outside my normal choice.

This is a great idea! I would like to join starting next month--i'm reading two books now. if susan62 sees this she'd probably love this book. she just got a new puppy.

I'd love to join the book club- it's a great first choice for me because I LOVE dogs and saw the guy interviewed that wrote it (I'm also a big dog whisperer fan)
I agree though that it's good to broaden your horizons so will be open to any book in upcoming months- I already have mine picked out if I get choose the book some month!! (thinking ahead- I always get WAY ahead of myself!)
Hopefully our little library will have a copy- if not I'll have to buy the bullet and go out and buy it!

Looking forward to the discussions!
