would you like to start one and we can see how it goes? Do you have any books that you planned on reading or ones that you read and loved and would like to read again with a discussion group?

We can fine tune it as we go if things are problematic. I am halfway through a book right now and don't know how long before I am ready to get going on this....but then again, if we decide to do it with discussion at certain points in the book, anyone can go into it whenever they are at the right spot in the book, and that could be a month or more after the first posts without disrupting the post. I suppose the only rule on that would be that if someone has finished the book, they will not be able to comment on anything in the book after the designated spot so there are no spoilers----since you should not be reading the post until you finish that part of the book.

But I ramble.
