Hey, everyone - long time no type!
Rather than clog the email highways and throughways with my ever-expanding tomes on our meetings, I thought it'd be more efficient to set up a blog - that way you can easily reference previous posts, or see what books have been discussed in the Irreverant Book Club (plus, I don't have to go searching through my email to find the previous posts).
First some administrative stuff - sorry about having you create an account and log in - I wanted to restrict this to only members to prevent random comments from people who have no affiliation with any of us - but in no means do I wish to restrict membership - if you want someone added to the blog, just let me know, and I'll get them on the list. Anyone who has attended a previous IBC meeting should be included, but if I forgot anyone, my apologies. Let me know and I'll correct it.
I also wanted to create an opportunity for other members to post - if you're interested in composing posts, let me know, and I'll make you an author (note - anyone who is a member can post comments). I only ask that we keep the topics to books. Additionally, I thought this would be a good place to include virtual discussions - such as - 'What are you reading now?', 'What did you read recently that you'd recommend?' - to forums that I will open up this week. However, I want to make sure that we do continue our get togethers in person - the food is too good, the company too wonderful, and we've gotta have a way to return all of those books we've borrowed!
So I hope you enjoy the blog. I'm still 2 posts behind (although I do have the book list from the 5th meeting up) - I intend to catch up. I also would like to schedule a meeting sometime in September... I miss all of you guys! - so stay tuned for further information on that.
If you have any suggestions for the blog, let me know... and until then, Happy Reading!
Dave

I'm looking forward to another book club meeting! I plan to bring The Deathly Hallows. I'm hoping for a proper discussion of it now that everyone has finished it. ;) I suggest that for Dave's sake we bring only one book (I know the choices the choices) to the meeting and post any books that you feel bad having left out of the meeting in one of the forums.
I agree... I would love to talk about Deathly Hallows. (The book I mean. )
I'm up for Deathly Hallows. Plus I would be happy to host -- the only catch is I'll be out of town on the 8th and in an all-day class on the 29th, so it would have to be the 22nd. If the 22nd doesn't work for enough people then I'll step aside as host this month and maybe catch the next one.
