IL Book Club 2011

Interested to join the IL's book readers club? Here is how we go about :

1) Our aim will be to read atleast 1 book every month

NOTE : This includes all (and only) novels fiction/non-fiction in English

2) A new thread will be started on/around 20th of every month to know your suggestions for the books to be read in the next month. This thread will be started in Book Reviews sub-forum

NOTE : Please try giving suggestions to books that also have a ebook somewhere, that way more of our friends can join in with us. If no ebook exists but you do want to read it, no probs - go ahead we could still read it right?

3) After you pour in your suggestions, we will have a poll on the same thread on (around) 25th of the month where you will have to vote from the selection of (shortlisted) books taken from your suggestions.

NOTE : The poll might be un-necessary if we unanimously agree on a book

4) The book that won in the poll will be the book that we would take up for reading in the next month OR if a book has been suggested unanimously, then we take up that book!

NOTE : This is not a contest where you will win a prize from us, rather the book that would read will remain a prized possesions in your minds

5) You can start discussing the book hence forth

* give your reviews
* talk about the characters
* talk about the situations that made your heart cry out for the people
* the funny incidences you came across in the book and just could stop laughing
* characters you really think are so wicked that the world world could do better without them
* heroes and heroines so beautiful and head strong that you could not stop thinking about them

6) After the month ends (do not worry if you still haven't finished reading your book, but you should aim to finish it) the thread still remains open for open discussions on the book.

Are you game?

Any questions and queries? Go ahead, ask it..!
Want to declare you are in with us? Still, go ahead write it here!

(This whole idea is taken from last year's book club)
Please gals, lets make IL a more happening place and encourage fellow ILs to read more and more with a lil support from all of us...
Together we will rock!!!

Luv,
Vidya

 

Hi Iswarya,
I think this thread has gone unnoticed coz this is in the book review section. Can u move this thread to Book Lovers section? Once we start the Book of the month, we will probably post the discussion of the book in the Book Review section..What say?

Cheers!!!
Vidya

 

Welcome Lavanya!!!
You may suggest a book for reading this month..(preferably if you have an ebook,so that we can all share n start), we will set up a poll for all the nominated books..

Iswarya,
You may also suggest a book for the month.

Thanks,
Vidya
