I read that one already (3 times...good book and makes you think alot...matter of fact you won't understand it with the first reading)...I say we go for less known title.

We need to pick a book by like tomorrow...I get paid on Friday and can buy it over the weekend :wink:

I think since Echo is moderator he should decide on the first book and rotate from there. Also, I think the purpose of a book club is to expose people to many different kinds of books. If the we chose books by a voting system, there would be too many problmes. This seems to be the best way to do it. How we rotate, I have no idea. Maybe by age or name or something that was not biased.

^^^ When you say rotate, do you mean a new person picks a different book each month?

Rules for selection and the general function of the book club must be established to ensure its success.My only concern is the quality of books and bringing something new to the table. I think research should be done on the moderators part just to make sure that the book is something males and females would be intereseted.

My suggestion would be to have maybe a theme for each month...established by the moderator...then members of the club throw out titles that would go with the theme and the moderator chooses or narrows down some choices.

Just a suggestion.

Just wondering...what's Soul on Ice about?
