"I Just Gagged!"

Like the commercial I just gagged from a brillant idea! Even though this has probably already been done I think that instead of a book club it would be fun to have a book club blog! That way more people from around the world could be involved! The moderator would just say, "This is the book we are reading this week and I will open the comment/discussion board this weekend." That way no one can comment until *hopefully* they are done reading. I really want to do something like that....

It has been too long! For SLIS 705 I need a research blog, and by using my little bloggie I am able to resurrect it once more!

For my research assignment I have decided that I would like to focus on book clubs. I have always been fascinated by them. In my family the only people I can talk to about books are my dad and my sister. My dad only reads adult fiction books and so it is hard to relate with him on what I read. My sister on the other hand reads some of the books that I do, but she doesn't ever really want to discuss them. That is why I think a book club is a perfect outlet for people like me who don't really have anyone to talk to about what they have read. And therefore I think that by researching book clubs I can better understand how people connect through books, and if it can help people to read more.
