    Hey, so I imagine that there are a lot of people on here who love to read so I thought it would be a cool idea if we started an online book club on this site. Each month or two we would vote on what book to read and then discuss it as we go.

    This thread is mainly just to gauge interest. So post here if you'd be interested in doing this and suggest One book that you would be interested in reading(note: only post one book because if there is a enough interest, I will put a poll up with all the options so we can vote on it and if there's too many options they might not all fit on one poll) You don't have to suggest anything if you don't want to

    So who's interested?

    I'm interested! Love reading. However have no book in particular to suggest, at least not in English. I'm up for anything, I guess.

    I'll try anything once :slight_smile:

    I'd suggest something like Harry Potter, or The Fault In Our Stars to start off with, because they're already pretty well known and easy to get hold of, either by Kindle or in book shops :slight_smile:

    Oh I always wanted to be a part of a book club!

    Hhmmmm... Let's see I do not mind rereading so starting with well known books such as harry potter or such is fine with me.

    If you are looking for something relatable to LGBTQ community I heard about on a radio show about a book called "Gender Failure" by Rae Spoon and Ivan E Coyote that sounds interesting as I confess I'm ignorant on the subject.

    How about "Cloud Atlas" by David Mitchell? The book is soooo much better than the movie.

    I would like to do it. I tend to be a person who reads multiple books at once, so I could add another one and give it higher priority.

    We should read something that has some acclaim but isn't something we've all read.

    Someone mentioned "The Fault in Our Stars". I would vote for that. I'd love to read it but haven't gotten around to it.

    It sounds good... I've heard a lot of people rave about The Fault In Our Stars, I'm willing to give it a try.

    Can I join?
    I vote The Fault In Our Stars

    The book was a trend here until now. I keep seeing the book since last year carried by others or at the bookstore. I want to give it a try.

    I liked that book and I have been meaning to reread it for some time.

    But I haven't seen the movie yet.
