Attempt number two!
The inspiration: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123025595706634689.html
The plan (why this one is better): Last time I tried to set something up, it was a competition directly following the article. This time, it will be more like a typical book club. One a month, and the book is picked by whoever's turn it is on the list. You can be on the list twice at any point in time (so after your pick, you can get back on the list to pick a book). Not everyone we know likes to read, and another difference for this go round is that I want this to be a large and inclusive group, so we will also pick one film/movie per month and two albums per month. No requirements to participate, just an opportunity to keep in touch while discussing new books/movies/music or classic books/movies/music. Also, I really want to make this work because I think it will be a great supplement to facebook after we've graduated, but I do not want to be the decider, so give suggestions so that when we get started for practice in January and for real in June, it is the best it can be.
