Last-Monday-Of-The-Month Book Club
So you know what you're getting into...
There are no restrictions on genre.
If you pick the book, you get to host the discussion.
You've got to keep coming (no just showing up for books you like).
We meet at 7pm...and officially go til 9pm, but I don't think we've gotten out that early yet.
If you plan on buying a book for the book club, do me (us) a favor and do it through iGive.com. Barnes and Noble goes through iGive, and has good prices on books! Use this link to visit the administration page of the LMOTM mailing list.
