angrygnome Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 I would suggest maybe starting it out as a thread; if it generates enough interest, then perhaps you could ask the powers that be if you get a sub-forum. Alternatively, you could start a blog and we could take the book discussion to the blog. That's a good idea. Though I'd like to keep it here so it's easier for new comers to join. Let's see how many more people are interested, then I'll start an official thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm pretty sure no one here knows nor cares what I'm currently reading. Fully 80% of you couldn't even comprehend it. 50% of you probably wouldn't even be interested, since it doesn't have pictures. There are books without pictures?

And this book because the father of one of the posters here wrote it. Found this one at the local library book sale for $1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thank you Dr. Ramius, that's pretty much exactly what I meant. A thread/forum where we could discuss and suggest books that we have read; book collecting, where to get good deals on books etc. I was thinking it could be open to all genres of books, and of course sports books. Also, while we're on the subject if anyone in the Buffalo/Niagara area has not yet read the popular Baseball book "Game of Shadows" it is available at both of the Dollar Trees here in the falls. So if your interested and live near a Dollar Tree you should check to see if they have it as well. A good read for $1.08. I would be game for this a forum would be nice as threads can become unwieldy if you are lookign for a specific comment or post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. That thread would go horribly adrift, but we may need to start as a thread at first though so the mods can gauge whether or not a forum is necessary.

tennesseeboy Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I'm interested. Just finished an exceptional novel by a colleague, Cutting for Stone by Dr. Abraham Verghese and am reading a kind of interesting book "Nudge" by Cass Sunstein. A separate forum sounds like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I bought this book because I liked the picture on the cover. That is a very cool pic, but a book about error analysis? Does every page repeat the same text over and over and over? 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 It's 100%, but statistically 30% of you are dumb enough for two people. Really, why the hell would anyone want to know what I read? There's a reason I keep large swaths of my private life private...and despite that, you all think I'm !@#$ed in the head anyway... Is every thread all about you?
