A bit of writing
Basically someone nominates a book, people are then given a few weeks to read it, and then a thread is started where people post their thoughts and discuss the book if they wish too. Last time around the books included: Nineteen Eighty-Four I Am Legend London Fields One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest I’ve no idea what will come up this time around! |

Can people dip in and out when they see a book they fancy reading?

Yeah, sure, I doubt I'll be able to read every book myself anyway - I certainly didn't last time

I'd be interested. But I already have a large metaphorical pile of books on my to-read list, so I might dip in and out depending on the title.

Okay, well there seems to be some interest so I've leave it build for a couple more names and then I'll sort something out.
