    Well any information, such as how do we get into contact, such as skype, any requirements, what kinds of books, etc.

    All discussions will take place here on the forum in the Book Discussion subforum. All stories will be available on the internet for free, so there's no need to get physical books (unless, of course, you want to).

    I already have enough short story suggestions for our first discussion, and I've set up a poll here where you can vote on what story you want to read.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in this thread or PM me.

    Sounds awesome! I really like the idea- would want to be a part of it when/if it ever becomes more put together.

    It already has been put together. See my post above yours. It contains a link to the poll.

    I like the idea I'm here to learn and this may help.

    Cool. You can vote for the story you want to read here. Maybe you can break the five-way tie.

    If there's still a tie after the poll closes, I'll probably flip a coin (or two) to decide what story we read. Any objections?

    No objection from me. I'm sure they're all worthy stories and I'd be happy reading any of them.

    Yes

    I have a copy of "The Pen/O'Henry Prize Stories" - Best Stories of the Year 2012 from the library.

    First two stories were pretty good. But there are also the classics I need to review such as Chekhov and Maupassant. I'm open and, time permitting, would love to participate.

    Oops! I see the selections and the vote. I'll follow any choice.
