MobileRead discussion

WOW! I come back to this group and find it rather stagnant. Anyone have any ideas to get this group going?

People don't feel the need to carry on conversations here when all the activity is in the MR forums.

good point grooks.
However, I enjoy goodreads as well.
Life is short and social media are too many!

Hmmm....

You don't have the right to "Hmmm" here. That's why people keep it silent :p

Ah, should have known. :p

Silence is golden

Christie is Golden.

So are the Grahams. Amen.

Anyone looking for some nook friends around?

I am endeavoring to "get this group going."

Anyone else have any ideas?

looks like you're gonna have to go round 'em up. Know any cowboys?

Good grief, I haven't even gotten around to reading a Western yet. Maybe after that I do that I can do some rustling.

Ha!

You might start with Cormac McCarthy - No Country for Old Men.

or
The Border Trilogy - All the Pretty Horses (The Border Trilogy, Book 1)

There's always Larry McMurtry too.

Thanks for the recommendations as always. I've seen the movie for No Country. I'm thinking All the Pretty Horses or The Virginian or maybe a L'Amour title to start with.

Could work! I love the opening of All the Pretty Horses!

My grandfather read those old westerns constantly....never without one. :)

I suppose I have read a couple of Westerns. The Sisters Brothers would be one that fits the bill, but I always think of the old paperbacks. That`s what I am hankering for.

I posted on MobileRead that I have updated the bookclub's bookshelf here. I shall consider my rustling done until I come up with some other idea.

I got all the books shelved according to the vote they won for. It's pretty cool to be able to see all the short story or romance selections there have been. It's almost, but not quite useful.

Good for you!

Very fun! Thank you.

Sound the alarm Someone has infiltrated the group! :)

I'll be getting the literary ones in there at some point. I like that I can look through and see how I rated the various selections. Oddly enough, for how much I complain about not enjoying the classic selections, the ones actually voted for in the classics months have been very well received by me.

Ahooooogah! Ahhhhoooooogah!!!! All hands on deck!

Just posted a new Flash on my Mansions of the Mind Blog:

Your efforts brought me here... Hi everyone!

Welcome!

Thank you, kindly!

I've decided to help HiMS out by adding the dates read to the bookshelf. It may take me a few days to complete, however, since RL is has me running around like a chickenless-head for the next few months.

Well, I only added through February of 2010, but its a start. Hopefully someone will be inspired to add the dates to another year or two worth of books. I'm going to get some sleep, so I don't yell at other people's children (too much) tomorrow.

That would be a good thing. Probably.

Thanks for the help.
