I want to throw in my suggestion that I put in to the last thread for something to boost participation, is easy to read, and is fun to read, as well as taking very little time: we should do a graphic novel.

There are plenty of very literary ones we could pick from that would certainly be a benefit to our lives for reading them, and it would be nice to boost appreciation for the artform as well. For example, Maus was an incredible graphic novel detailing the artist's father's tale of survival through the concentration camps. The art and writing were impeccable, and while you could dwell on it and read it over weeks, it could easily been read through in a day or two.

The one downside would be availability and price, but at the same time it's very easy to find .cbr files and magnet links to practically anything we want to read.

Thought?

With that caveat, I guess I'm in. There are things I prefer to read that aren't graphic novels but let's see what everyone else thinks.
