IL Book Club News Bulletin

Gayathri47 · Feb 8, 2010

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. his 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 couldn't stop laughing
* characters you really think are so wicked that the world could do better without them
* heroes and heroines so beautiful and head strong that you could not stop thinking about them

literally anything that you might want to talk about! Usually ending with a brief review if possible.

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?
