Free Republic

(My first thread, hope I'm doing this right!)

What was your favorite book in 2007. It didn't have to be published in 2007, as long as that's when you read it. Was there anything that you were looking forward to that turned out to be disappointing? My apologies for not pinging the list in a long time. I've been waiting to get my computer back from being fixed and I've been waiting ... anyway ...

The Free Republic Book Club is an informal gathering of readers and lovers of all genre of books, which meets on an irregular basis, which would whenever I remember to post something. The last meeting, Free Republic Book Club: (1/16/07) What's on Your Reading List for 2007? was quite a while ago. Sorry about that. If you would like to be on this ping list -- or if you are on it and wished to be removed -- please send me mail. This "week's" topic: What's your favorite Book Series? For the sake of argument, let's define a "series" as...

The Free Republic Book Club is an informal gathering of readers and lovers of all genre of books, which meets on an irregular basis, which would whenever I remember to post something. The last meeting, "What did you read in 2006?" was a big success with over 200 posts over the week. If you would like to be on this ping list -- or if you are on it and wished to be removed -- please send me mail. If you already sent me mail wishing to be removed and you were pinged anyway, oops, my apologies, please request again....

The Free Republic Book Club is an informal gathering of readers and lovers of all genre of books, which meets on an irregular basis, which would whenever I remember to post and have a copy of the ping list available. Actually, the last time we "met" was July of 2005. Sorry about that. If you would like to be on this ping list -- or if you are on it and wished to be removed -- please send me mail. If you already sent me mail wishing to be removed and you were pinged anyway, oops, my apologies, please request...

Welcome to the Free Republic Book Club This week's topic, as noted last week, is mysteries. Next week's topic has yet to be determined. New comers are welcome. Feel free to ask to be added to the ping list. (Feel free to ask more than once if your name slips through the cracks.) New threads are posted every Saturday. This thread is informal, but please respect the general rules of F.R. Discuss.

Hello, once again. Welcome to the weekly Free Republic Book Club thread. The winner of the poll and the topic for this week is historical novels. For those of you that want to get a jump on next week, the runner up in the last week's poll was mysteries, so grab one off the shelf and get busy reading, so you'll have something for next week. 8-)

Welcome to the Free Republic Book Club This is the place to discuss any book under the sun. First of all, my apologies for not getting to this thread until Saturday evening. Second, as has been suggested by several people on the previous threads, we're only going to make one thread per week, starting on Saturdays. We'll see how that works out. Third, let's try to pick a topic for the week. Granted, "off-topic" posts are to be expected (and practically mandatory, if reading other threads is any indication). Fourth, I pulled a lot of names from the previous...

Welcome to the Free Republic Book Club. Last time I checked there were over 70 posts on our first thread by 40+ posters. Not bad at all. Let's call our second meeting to order. I'd love to give you a topic, but I have to go dig up the car and take the kids bowling. So talk amongst yourselves. The results of yesterday's "survey" are below.

Welcome to the Free Republic Book Club. It was suggested a couple of days ago, in the FReeper's Book Rockets Up Amazon After Ingraham Show! thread (somewhere toward the end) that it would be great if there FR Book Club. Somehow, I think I got nominated to start one. I don't really know how to do that other than just to go ahead and do it. So I am -- please, feel free to point out mistakes, or point out how to make a "ping" list for folks that want to be a part of this. Anyway, if there are...

I am almost afraid to even bring this up on FR, knowing a lot of people do not like Oprah. HOWEVER, her new book club is better than the one before. I never got into her old club because I thought all the books were bleeding heart liberal crap. Now I can't call John Steinbeck's East of Eden crap can I? Has anyone ever read this book? She is sticking to the classics this time which I am happy about. I read mostly British Literature BUT I am willing to try. There has to be another FReeper that watches Oprah.

A member of the ping list, MattinNJ, gave me a suggestion to start a Western Civilization Military History Book Club. I'm taking him up on his offer and I'm even making him co-chair of the club. Here's how it will work: I will assign a book for the first assignment. On February 1, 2003, I will start a discussion thread to discuss the assigned book. However, how books are assigned are a little different here on out. I will ask for your suggestions via Freepmail sometime before the discussion thread goes up. You can suggest the next book for reading...
