The book\u00adclub I belong to picked the books for the 2004\u20135 sea\u00adson. It went a lot quick\u00ader this year than last because two of the men had to rush off to their hockey game. We seem to have a some\u00adwhat unusu\u00adal book\u00adclub, in that there are men and women, and we try to read a wide selec\u00adtion of types of books \u2014 some old, some new, and occa\u00adsion\u00adally non-fic\u00adtion. We mostly try for books that indi\u00advidu\u00adals might not read without some incent\u00adive, or books that look like they\u2019d lead to inter\u00adest\u00ading discussions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The basic pro\u00adcess is that every\u00adone brings 3 books which are all avail\u00adable in paper\u00adback, and that cov\u00ader a range of styles and top\u00adics. Every\u00adone presents the books they brought, say\u00ading why they chose them.
\nWe ask for vetoes (on any reas\u00adon\u00adable ground) and then every\u00adone gets 5 votes. The books with the highest num\u00adber of votes win \u2014 except we do check to make sure we cov\u00ader a range of top\u00adics, and not all the books are thick or dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to read.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s list is I\u2019ll blog com\u00adments on the books as we read them. The order the books are giv\u00aden in is the order we expect to read them in and you nev\u00ader know, we might even stick to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The book\u00adclub I belong to picked the books for the 2004\u20135 sea\u00adson. it went a lot quick\u00ader this year than last because two of the men had to rush off to their hockey game.
