Hi all. Often I'll read a book and want to be able to discuss it with others, particularly if the ending is ambiguous or if I have mixed feelings about an event or character. Or, just because I loved it and want to see if other people loved the same bits as me! So I thought it might be fun to have a thread where people could list the books they're keen to discuss, and others who've read them can hop on in.* I recently read The Seven Days of Peter Crumb by Jonny Glynn, which was an utterly disturbing horror story; a kind of British 'American Psycho'. Has anyone read this? Big love, Maroon. *Obviously we wouldn't discuss the books in this thread. No spoilers!
we should start a book club XD British American Psycho sounds good....might have to look for it......American Psycho is my favourite book so if anyone wants to discuss that....
The Catcher in the Rye is arguably my favorite books. Sadly, most people who have already read it either: 1. extremely hate it, or, worse, 2. also don't get the point besides hating it (i.e. they hate it without a good reason). I've had only one good discussion about it with a friend of mine (who was a bit unnerved by it, funnily enough), but that's about it.
Yeah, that'd be fun! I'd be game for that. Sorry though - I haven't read Catcher or American Psycho. I've seen the American Psycho film, but not sure that counts.
We used to have a book club here at WF, but it fizzled out after a while. Maybe you'll get more interest now that it's summer.
Shall we try? One book every fortnight/month? I'd be keen, especially now that I'm on holiday for a month....
Go for it. If you can keep interest alive, it has potential. Start by finding the original threads in this forum. I think it fizzled in December or January.
