So after a little time quietly simmering, the BS Bookclub idea is finally ready to get cooking with fire! In the interest of getting the ball rolling, we decided at today's BS Breakfast to start off our reading with Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder by David Weinberger.
If we'd like to shoot for a month per book, I'd like to tentatively recommend we have our first meeting the last week in July. When specifically? You decide - check out the discussion section of the Brainstorming Bookclub wiki to contribute your availability and schedule.
I'd also like push everyone to contribute your thoughts, questions, and comments to the wiki as you read Everything is Miscellaneous. Not only can we use these ideas to drive our face to face discussion, but we can also discuss the books mid read in the discussion area. This is also a great way for anyone who might be interested but not local, to participate.
For round one, it will probably be easiest to just rent/ borrow/ buy your obtain copy of the book - at our first meeting we can talk about bulk ordering for the next round.
Now off to the bookstore then off to the wiki! I'm excited to see this idea finally taking off =)
