Following a suggestion I am thinking about setting up a monthly post-apoc book club on here.
The formula would be that a book is nominated and people have a month or so in advance to read up on it and then people can set up topics of debate and so on.
I would add a new forum for it.
My initial suggestion, since we will only have 3 weeks or so before kicking things off on February 1st would be 'Earth Abides'. Perhaps go for a theme of a classic followed by a book from the last year or so ?
Any thoughts or suggestions ?

Are we on? may I start?
Is Stewart overly pessimistic about the decline in culture as evinced with his last lucid moments? Or, overly optimistic in that he saw a new strong culture happening rather than a sort of "dirt-poor" group of slum dwellers doing mostly nothing?
Did the bow or the dog sled save them?

A s a Guest I can see the new Book Club thread but as neither edwin or a new account name nedwin can I see it when logged on. Neither does a search find it!  |

Not sure what is going on so am going to delete all the book club stuff and try and start all over again as I have done something wrong and cannot work out what. Sorry about this. Trial and error  |
