Did you know that b_b is recently engaged despite having made one of my all-time favorite comments on Hubski: My own version of the 7th layer of hell would be having to get a gift registry full of esoteric kitchen items. "Look, Honey, Aunt Cuntface got us the olive boat we wanted! This will go great with our new serving platters!!!" Its one of the reasons I'm against marriage. -Good ole Aunt Cuntface. Brilliant. EDIT: to be equally vulgar to both genders feel free to use the term "Uncle Cockface" instead.

"Er...features?" -I'll have you know that many women fawn over me. .....but mostly because they think I'm that guy from Harold and Kumar.
I really, really look forward to these. As far as the book club, I'm down to pick it back up in a few weeks. humanodon, Meriadoc, who else? Chime in. I've been distracted by the equally awesome #scifibookclub, which is something new users ought to know about hubski, so I haven't pursued a new book. Watchmen was last, I think. Speaking of which, I really need to blitz through the rest of Blindsight this weekend but I don't like it much.
I've been thinking: since most everyone on hubski reads and tends to read a diverse selection, what if instead of a traditional book club we occasionally had a thread where people could post 3 (or whatever number) of mini book reviews? That way we could start conversations about books that interested us and get exposed to many more kinds of books. It would also allow us to be less tied to the schedule of reading and coming together to discuss one book and getting bummed out when people lose interest or can't finish it because real life gets in the way? Thoughts? thenewgreen, kleinbl00, Meriadoc
Ah ok. It's just that people don't participate when "their" book doesn't get picked and that number gets winnowed down further due to people's real life stuff. All I'm saying is, if we loosen it up a bit and just do a thing where we talk about books, maybe we can still get people to talk about and share books while still having it be a tag on hubski.
I'd be down with reading a classic. I think a lot of people could swing that. But I agree that most times it fizzles out and it ends up a handful of us discussing. Still, what's wrong with that? Worse case scenario only a few of us read it.
I'm with you on that. Let's think on it and perhaps consider what has made the sic-fi book club work better than the original bc.
Mini book reviews are a good idea. I've done a couple, I've seen a few others. I tag them with 'hubskibookclub' when I see them. In-addition-to the regular book club postings, not instead-of :-)
Eh, my earlier review got no traction, but I've been meaning to post another one in any case. I figure a books tag will do to make it visible to interested parties.
Yeah, you'd mentioned that to me before. I dunno, I kind of think that #hubskibookclub is dead . . . again. There is a #books, but it's mostly mpoe who posts on that. Cool sounding books and review format, but I can't listen to a half hour to an hour of audio about a book I might or might not read.
It replaces your hubwheel, doesn't display how many followers you have and how many people you're following, etc. when you go to view your profile. There's probably other stuff it does too.
Yeah, so we left it off here: https://hubski.com/pub?id=138281 and any of us can jump back in. jonaswildman, ecib, bgood79, mrjasonetaylor or T-Dog. I think this one has some potential. I've been busy, moved twice in the last three months and brought a kid in to the world. But I'm settling back in and would love to work on this again. Who is up next?
mrjasonetaylor, I misspelled your name in the shout-out and therefore it didn't take.
