I'm sure this has been tried before, but I do not know to what end....Book Discussion Group?

3. I have been thinking the same thing.

I used to belong to a book discussion group and I loved having other people to talk to about a book, especially if I liked it or if it disturbed me.

I have devised a plan that could make this work online, because it would be too hard with so many people reading at different speeds (I am a really slow reader and I see some on here who are reading several books in a week).

We could have the subject be "book title, through chapter 5", or whatever to set the book into sections. That way whenever someone finishes that part of the book, they can then go into that thread and see what others think and add their feeling on it, without a spoiler to what is coming next. My mother and I often read books together and would discuss things as we went, and I loved it.

I don't think that we would all have to agree to a book, anyone could choose a book and start a thread on that book. If the thread fails to get any interest, there is no harm---the OP still read a book that they wanted to read.

Other ideas?
