Anyone interested in doing a book club?

[angel_wings13]

If anyone is interested in doing a book club let me know.

We could do a vote to see what book to read and then start a new thread to discuss is.

We can hash out the details if enough people are interested.

I would love to do this. I was googling Christian book clubs and that is how I found this site.

Would they be soley Christian books or could it be any book?

 

[CJaxgirl]

I would prefer it be Christian based books but I am really open to whatever.

 

[Cynthia85]

See, I don't like Christian books, lol. I went to Bible College and it pretty much corrupted me. Having text books about context, original language and archeology, I tend to pick apart books. It's probably my own fault, but I'm not into the gooey feel good emotional books that seem to plague the Christian market.

sounds like fun

I'm pretty much down for reading any thing....as long as it isn't anti-Christian in nature.

I think we could all suggest 1 book to put on the list and then vote on the one we will read.

We can then establish a time line to obtain and read the book and either discuss it in chapters (1-10, 11-20, etc) or just discuss at the end of the book.

What do you all think???

You can count me in - sounds like a lot of fun

I like the idea of reviewing it in chapters, so we don't just get "it was a good/bad book" review.

 

[angel_wings13]

Ok then..... I'll give people until the end of Saturday to start listing suggestions. Please limit it to 2 books and give a brief description of the book. We'll take a vote on what book to read first from there!

I suggest...

I, Alex Cross by James Patterson
Alex Cross's niece is found brutally murdered. Overcome with grief, Alex vows to take down her killer before he strikes again. But shortly after he begins the investigation, Alex discovers that his niece had gotten mixed up with some very important, very dangerous people.


A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick
He placed a notice in a Chicago paper, an advertisement for "a reliable wife." She responded, saying that she was "a simple, honest woman." She was, of course, anything but honest, and the only simple thing about her was her single-minded determination to marry this man and then kill him, slowly and carefully, leaving her a wealthy widow, able to take care of the one she truly loved. What Catherine Land did not realize was that the enigmatic and lonely Ralph Truitt had a plan of his own. And what neither anticipated was that they would fall so completely in love. Filled with unforgettable characters, and shimmering with color and atmosphere, A Reliable Wife is an enthralling tale of love and madness, of longing and murder.

I would be interested if it is a Christian book, but I am not at all interested in Christian romance.

I think it would very much depend on the book chosen. Quite happy to discuss book in Chapters.

My suggestion would be Bunyon's Pilgrim's Progress

That should be fairly easy for most people to obtain.

It might be interesting to read Pilgrim's progress, I don't think I've read it before.

I suggest...

I, Alex Cross by James Patterson
Alex Cross's niece is found brutally murdered. Overcome with grief, Alex vows to take down her killer before he strikes again. But shortly after he begins the investigation, Alex discovers that his niece had gotten mixed up with some very important, very dangerous people.

I second this! I've wanted to read this book since I heard of it.

 

[angel_wings13]

Ok.....it seems a lot of people who said they were initialy interested have not returned. So we'll vote between I, Alex Cross and Pilgrim's Progress

Please post your one vote here. Voting will be open until 11:59pm February 16th.

 

[Cynthia85]

I, Alex Cross!

 

[angel_wings13]

My vote is for....

I, Alex Cross.

 

[angel_wings13]

Well I'm not finding as much interest in actually reading and doing this discussion as there was at first. So..... I'm inclined to think it isn't going to happen. Thanks any ways every body!!!!
