Jeremy’s comments from the Boling for Books group.

I thought the same thing!

I was just thinking about this last night myself! Berry College had a speaker from South Africa who was involved in the ending of Apartheid and met who met with Nelson Mandela. I was able to attend a dinner with him before the session and hearing about the journey of racial reconciliation was fascinating!

I got sucked in. I think that it makes most sense for everyone to go at their own pace and to discuss after completing. Discussing by chapter or section would be cumbersome and forced. From my perspective, the big picture is to, over time, develop a group of shared reading experience that can foster more meaningful discussion when we are together. Thoughts?

I'm on page 170. Let's go people!

I buy all my books on amazon! Cheap, cheap, cheap!

Uh....good question. I am in between books so I can start as early as Wednesday, which is when it will arrive. I try to read classics in paper form rather than Kindle. Odd quirk.

Wanna get the book and see how it is formatted (chapters, parts, etc., and figure out what makes most sense?

On The Road - Jack Kerouac
Cry, The Beloved Country - Alan Paton
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - Betty Smith
My Antonia - Willa Cather

These are all books that I haven't read and that are highly acclaimed and suggested for "book clubs". Given that I haven't read them, I also can't speak to any questionable content. Any votes?

That picture is from back in our Gwinnett days. I'll take a new pic under consideration.

Any objections to a Classic from anyone?

i was wondering who would address that.

I'm in. Thoughts on a book?

Thoughts from anyone else? Hello?
