Bookcees Book Club
so far we got myself, @Bags, @uh-oh, @Witty, @Diode, and @PancakeBrah. of course it's open to any and all comers. here's how it'll work.
members will rotate choosing a book per month to read. everyone reads it, drops a response in the thread at the end of the month etc, CULTUREDNESS OF NC GOES THROUGH THE ROOF. I was thinking of including a maximum length to make it more feasible for the dadcees crew, IE no Infinite Jest or some shit. 400 page maximum work, or do you guys think it's unnecessary? as for when we want to start, the energy is good now, but I also don't mind waiting until 2018 to kick it off. down with what the people decide. most importantly, do we wanna spell Club with a K? IE Klub? Makes it more unique and, dare I say, kool. think about it.

agreed
is it possible to nominate someone to choose a book when its your turn THO one of the main reasons i don't read more is my indecisiveness on picking something to actually read lol. i'll read whatever one of you guys pick. or just put me last in the rotation so i have time to find something i might be interested in recommending but word im ready whenever for it to start

order is whatever to me, so if anyone wants to go later or earlier, we can make it happen. trick is to just read something YOU want to read and not care too much if others will or won't be interested. that way you end up getting exposed to a bunch of stuff that you otherwise may not have. start looking now. might sound corny, but I'd recommend signing up for goodreads. good way to track shit and learn about new books. just go goodreads dot com.

@Bags I agree. I think a lot of bookish types feel a sense of validation from having generally low ratings. I think my average rating is close to a 4. edit: can't find you on it tho, bags.
looks like the energy is good to start now. I know uh-oh wants to go last, anyone want to go first? @Diode would it be helpful for you to go first or nah?

aite so we got @Rugged @big baby @Bags @uh-oh @Witty @Diode @PancakeBrah but obviously anyone can participate, silently or otherwise.
unless we'd rather have the first book finished by the end of October, I'll pick a book of manageable length for September since we're already a week in. SEPTEMBER BOOK: Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates Godspeed, bookcees.

Count me in
Can we try to stay away from reading books in a series? I have horrible commitment issues.

@Do Not Reply people can choose whatever they want, but it's a single book per month, so I'm doubtful there will be a shared effort to pick series books.
@Bags you're on deck for October.
