The Next Best Book Club discussion

Hi all! I'm really bad at posting, so I'll probably be one of the silent 1500 in this group. A friend from my real life reading group turned me on to this site. I decided to start using it after reading that some absurd percentage of Americans hadn't read a single book in the previous year - wanted a way to track how many I do read. Should be an interesting experiment.

Hi Alycia, welcome and happy reading!

I used to read more and more quickly. I joined a few weeks ago in the hopes that I could get my reading rate up a little, but failing that at least read more interesting things! Both things are happening and it's a lot of fun here, so I join fiona in saying "Don't be silent!!"

Welcome Alycia! i wonder if you will manage to be silent on here...we are very addictive!
I also love to keep a lsit of what I read and every year I start a new list. For this year I am overdoing myself and have read 62 books by now. Still five days to go.....next year will be different I guess becasue I didn't work for the whole year and read, read, read and I am still reading, reading, reading..

Enjoy!

Welcome Alycia! I wish I could get some of my in person book club members to hop on GR! This is a great way to hear of so many wonderful books. I think it is just as much fun to see what I add to my TBR, as to keep track of what I've actually read!

welcome!

Hello & welcome!

Alycia, dont be silent. Silent stinks... become part of the chaos and fun that is TNBBC!!!!

Thanks for joining...

Hello Alycia! I just joined this group recently, and have been posting up a storm. I don't think that you could possibly manage to be silent in a group this fun.

Fiona, you took the words right out of my mouth with this:
"People who don't read depress me, somehow I think they're missing out.

I love keeping track of how many books I read. I'm looking forward to 2009 because the I'm really going to start trying to keep track. Before GR I was just reading whatever, but now I feel like I really need to read more. NEED like it is in a way a duty to that horrendous pile of unread books in my bookshelf. (Poor unopened things)."

I'd probably go crazy if I didn't touch a book in a whole year! *shudder* I go into withdrawals if I don't crack a book daily! I should learn Braille so I can give my eyes a rest! ;)

Well everyone here makes up for all the others ;-) -- welcome MD - I'm just a stones throw away across DC in VA.

Hi Alycia, Welcome to a great group. Please don't be silent what makes this group great is everyone's input in the threads. Hope you enjoy the group :~)
