Hi Friends,Sam and I decided that it would be so fun to re-initiate the good ol' Book Worm Book Club, but as we are all over the country now, maybe a blog would be the method. Here is how it works: if you want to participate, send me your gmail (it has to be) email address and I will include you on the list of people who can publish on the blog. We will each pick a book to submit to the lineup (email that to me too) and then draw the order of the books to read. When it is your month you will post any questions or discussion points for your book and everyone can post comments. One more thing: If your book is next and you didn't post a comment for the previous book, then your selection gets bumped to the end of the list. This is to ensure that you are actually reading the books. How does this sound? We thought that we could start the first book in January. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or think something should be changed. I am so excited to get started!
Cheers,
Blair

Guys, this is a great idea. I absolutely insist that we start the book club off by reading Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck. Has anyone read it? Just kidding. I know that episode puts me at the bottom of the list of credibility this time around. I am really excited to start!
With recommendations like that, I vote Ashley out of the book club...
Only kidding. I've actually only read "Grapes of Wrath" by Steinbeck. Is "Tortilla Flat" no good?
Looking forward to what our first book is!
Blair and Sam, I haven't formally replied, but I would like to join the club. I have several suggestions for books: The Alchemist, Night, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night, or Kiterunner (although I am sure many bookies have already read this one).
Is it too late to jump on this train?? If not, can I suggest "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes. Let me know :)
