Any interest in a Child-Free Thoughts book club?

[Deleted]

We could choose a book, read it and do an online discussion of it...I know TIP does that. Any interest?

[ridethelightning]

I would do it.

[pilife]

I'm not. I read too irregularly and if I don't like the book (determined within the first chapter) I won't read/finish it.

This is me, too. But if it's a book I already have interest in, then I would participate! I just can't be reliable to read all the books as I already have a few downloaded that I hope to get through.

I'm in!

[charitylynne79]

I would be interested in it - just depending on what the book is.

[darkling_glory]

I would love to join!

I tried to find a book club near me through meet-up but it's all either middle-aged ladies or way to in the city for me. I need some suburbanites, 20-something meet-up groups!

[glw]

I'm in a book club now, but if you guys read something I've read before, I'll definitely participate in the conversation!

I'm in as long as I have plenty of time to buy the book cheaply through amazon. lol

I think it's funny that we're talking about this because I JUST ordered: Two Is Enough: A Couple's Guide to Living Childless by Choice.

Like, yesterday. haha I should receive it in about two weeks.

ETA: I just now realized that you mean ALL books. Not just child-free books. Comprehension fail!

Hahah, I was going to ask if it had to be child-free material but didn't want to sound dumb. ;D

I really want to read The Help and Eat Pray Love, but I feel like the last person to read those. I would read the Hunger Games if someone gave me their hard copies so I wouldn't have to buy them, haha.

Erin, I have the first book in paperback that I can send out to you if you'd like.

I haven't read them either.
I can loan you the hunger games via the kindle.. maybe if you download the "kindle app" I can still loan it.

Ooh, that would be cool! I could do a swap if there's something I have you might want. I'll need to look and jot some titles down when I get home later, I know I have Joy Luck Club and some older ones. I don't have very many recently published books, but I do have some good oldies!

[OrangePixyStix]

Pi, I do have the Kindle app on my iPad and have been using it! I have no idea how to do the loan thing though, I haven't done that before.

[mayflowers22]

Yesss! That would be awesome!

I'll try to figure it out

[shorty20]

I have all the Hunger Games if you want to borrow them.

I'd definitely be interested in a book club.

::impatient:: I need your email.
you have 14 days, if you don't finish it, i'll resend it.

[OrangePixyStix]

Ooh, I hope it works! My iPad is at home, I'm gonna have to check it when I get there after skating. Thank you for looking into that, I hope I can read fast enough.

If you want a copy to keep, let me know...I have ways of doing that for the Kindle...I email them to you and then you put them on your Kindle and you keep them...it's not a loan.

Oooh, well I will have to keep that in mind, it doesn't sound too difficult for me to figure out.
Pi already got the "loan" going, so let's see how that goes. If I am reading too slowly or the 2 weeks passes by and I haven't made much progress, I'll come back to you for this request. You rock!

[honeydew1894]

I'm in as long as 50 Shades isn't on the table!

[alabasterangel]

If it is either free or rentable on Kindles.. I'm in!

No lie, this makes me nervous.
You have a torrent or something, right?

I kind of feel like it's the same as downloading music.
It's stealing. You rip off a lot of people in the process.

::shrug:: My opinion.
