Anyone interested in starting a book club?
Pros:
-You get to read something you may not ordinarily read.
Cons:
-If you're forced to read something you wouldn't ordinarily read, you'll probably hate it.
-The (relatively) large time commitment of reading an entire book.
-The internet is way more interesting.
-Book clubs always collapse after 2 weeks due to lack of participation.
We could mitigate the cons by choosing shorter books (under 200 pages), and having the book chooser lead the discussion by posting his or her responses, which could be short or long; stream-of-consciousness or tightly structured. Whatever you're feeling. That way we'd still have a specific blog post to discuss over the course of a week or so, even if everyone hates the book and is just waiting until we can discuss Islam again.
In order to spur discussion, my pick would be something related to politics or history, However, I know that's not everyone's cup of tea, and I could be persuaded to read literature, like Justin Bieber, First Step 2 Forever, by Justin Bieber.
