Has a forum book group ever been suggested?

Would be a good idea - what about startin a social group or groups perhaps depending on genre!

I'd be quite intersted in a book group - we did one at the last place I used to work.....just meet up, have a chat - and usually coffee and cake

We could do online too if easier

We bashed the idea around a few years ago, but I think that we never really got started because we just couldn't come up with a book to read and then discuss.

I'm willing to join in and if Edinburgh is still your home turf some of this discussion could happen over coffee.

We could have a "book group" room in the chat and meet there for "virtual" coffee canuck! (As long as we didn't get dumped

)

Fantastic idea!

Perhaps our first book for discussion could be 'Yahoo! Slurp Spiders for Dummies'.

Where have I been?

Sorry, Canuck, I'm a-cummin back to Caithness in less than 100 hours. Shall we suggest a book each, or create a separate sub-forum? I'll start with Patrick Suskind's Perfume.

I shall track down a copy and see how it goes. But with the week I have in front of me I doubt that I'll get it read in time for a face to face over coffee before you leave.
