Anyone interested in an online book club?

It might be fun to have a book club where we read a book a month and talk about it here. They could be Disney related books or non-Disney related (if those exist ). Is anybody interested?

I think we would need to throw out some names of books and agree upon one each month to read and discuss. We can do a book on WDW to begin with and then see where it goes from there.

What would be a good book to start with? Any ideas would be appreciated. I just bought Reality Land from Amazon (thanks wvugrrl)today but I think that most people on hear have already read it.
Scott- is there anything new or older that you know about?

It sounds like a cool idea if I can sneak some time to read a book other than a psychology textbook!

I would too, depending on the book. I like fun and light reading and some classics. I don't like reading things that may be controversial. I've already read Realityland, but wouldn't mind discussing it. I may end up reading it again. I also enjoyed Spinning Disney's World by Charlie Ridgway. I would be willing to read that one again too.

Just throw a book out there, with as many ppl as there are on here, there will always be something that someone likes so you can participate at will.
I think its a great idea.

Why don't we start with Realtiy Land. I have it coming from Amazon. We can start reading it on Mar. 17th (this gives everyone a chance to get it if you don't have it) and then each week we can comment on a few chapters at a time until we get a rhythm going.

I am very excited about this and can't wait to get started.
