There's a contradiction in terms.

*cough*

Sorry, couldn't help it. :D

I'll throw my hat in the ring. I read too much sci-fi as is. I need to branch out into the rest of the book world.
Like fantasy.

you can count on me, splice. my choices will be right up yer alley.

Actually, I think she's satan incarnate. I was trying to be nice. Oh wait. I did it again. sorry :D

Can we all agree not to put in any selections from Wheel of Time? I just finished the 10th book. 3 weeks of my life that I'll never get back.

Someone just brought in THREE volumes from that series for one of my patients.

We have to screen books coming in to make sure that nothing with violent or sexual content gets onto the unit. There's enough violent and sexual content there already, without bringing in how-to guides.

So anyway, I check the books, and mention to the visitor that I had just been having some discussion regarding this series, and that people seemed to have strong opinions about it, either really enjoying them, or finding them really boring.

His response? "I never really liked them, but I brought them for my brother because they calm him down a lot, and I thought that would help."

Bibliotherapy. Gotta love it.

Monday the 15th will be the last day to sign up!


So if you are sitting on the fence (ouch!) trying to decide, you have four more days.

Then next week, we can finally start to have an idea of what the first book will actually be.

intelligent political discourse- there's a word for that. oxymoron.

Isn't an oxymoron someone who is too stupid to breathe?

I'd join in, but I'm in the middle of:

Criminal Justice 101;
Political Science 201;
Music 151;
Psychology 101;
The Science of Good and Evil;
The Great Book of Amber.

And I just bought a stack of last semester's textbooks that are related to my research. I'm up to my ass in reading.

Sign me up...
 

The Book Club got me over the hurdle of "do I lurk FOREVER?"

Please count me in. My reading needs a shot in the arm, or something.

The gemstone, or the world developed by Roger Zelazny?

Zelazny.

Can you imagine sitting through waiting for ten books to come out for the conclusion?

No, wait, I don't have to imagine... Damn Jordan, damn him...

I did. I don't have to imagine it.

You sat through waiting for all ten Amber books? *ducking*
