So it's been a while since the last Hubski Book club. Nobody really answered with "next round" (although we kinda blended a little with sci fi club's impending selection) so it's been languishing. Last one was Watchmen, which is kinda sci fi anyway.
Scificlub kinda petered out, too, as the only people who had anything to say about the last book under discussion had negative things to say. It's too bad - zebra2 was right, it should have led to some interesting discussion but I think a lot of people got pissed off at the book. In any event, another book wasn't chosen.
I can't remember where, but the book club(s) came up again a couple weeks ago. I suggested that rather than "book club" and "sci fi club" we maybe oughtta break it up into "fiction club" and "non-fiction club" and there were a few assents, but the idea was tucked away in a corner of the world that I can't find anymore so that's probably not a good place to leave it.
As such, let's talk about it here.
I've been reticent to lead these discussions 'cuz it feels like I pick a lot of books anyway... however, these things are fun and I'd love to get things going again. I also read a lot. Or, truth be told, listen to a lot of audiobooks. Reading you can do on a stationary bike. Audiobooks you can do while buying groceries or riding into Hollywood.
So, answers please:
1) Would you rather do fiction and non-fiction? or "book" and "anything sci-fi related?" 'cuz 8bit and I can fuckin' bury y'all in Anime. We'll do it, too.
2) Are you interested in one? Interested in the other? Interested in both?
3) If your answer in (2) is greater than or equal to "maybe" do you have any suggestions? Make your pitch. Persuade us. SELL IT BABY
