And if anybody wants to join the Freeper Reading Club (over 100 members strong) please let me know and I'll put you on the Freeper Reading Club Ping List. The pings are low level since I usually never ping more than once or twice a month, just to let you know when a book discussion has started and to give the next book assignment.
BTW, the next Freeper Reading Club book discussion will be From Here To Eternity by James Jones. This book is probably the GREATEST American novel ever written. Because i want as many Freepers as possible to read this book (Peggy Noonan even wrote a column on why this is an IMPORTANT book to read), I am giving two full months and several holidays to complete From Here To Eternity which will be due on Monday, January 13.
Please add me to your ping list. I've been meaning to read From Here to Eternity since Noonan's article and this will force me to get it done over Christmas.
This is a great idea, BTW!
I'm poorly and haphazardly read, but I'm getting better. I just finished a book called "Mephisto Waltz" (Stewart) and I'm now reading "Starship Troopers" (Heinlein) and "Bias" (Goldberg). I wanted to check out "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" as per recommendations here, but they didn't have it.
