Interested in a book club?

Maybe if a club member doesn't like the book then it would be suggested that they read at least 50-100 pages before "dropping" the book.

For book club meetings we could have IRC chats on a Saturday or Sunday? If those don't work out, then we could set up a thread for the monthly book after everyone is supposed to have read it, and then we could close the topic when we're ready to start discussing the new book.

Maybe we could have a place for author discussion?

Good suggestions, I agree with them all except the IRC chat meetings.
Author Discussions would be a great thing, maybe if we get this book club up we could do Author Discussion threads, or maybe the administrators could add a forum for Author Discussion and then we could create a thread for each author we would like to talk about.
Just my ideas.

Well, we need an official thread, and you.. happen to be an administrator.. thus you can make an official thread. We also need something like Tayley suggested, but no IRC. Not everyone could make those meetings. I suggest that we also have contests, like.. who can read the most books in a good time limit(like... 2 months, or so).
Then, have about 3 winners of that competition. 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place. Each will have a quiz on 2 of their books they read, and if they get the majority of them right then we will know that they actually read those books.

ARR!
