I've had this idea about kinda starting an "online book club" type thing for a while now and figured I might as well share it. In an effort to grow in/with my family (mostly the men in my family) I'm starting a book reading thing with my bro and pops and I am extending it to my blog...hopefully by including it on my blog, it will help hold me accountable and provide more ways for folks to discuss the book openly together..
Basically, my idea is to pick a book and read through it (roughly on the same timeline as everyone else) and using the blog, after I read a chapter, I'll post a synopsis and key points that I liked in that chapter, then allow others reading the book to (hopefully) post comments on their thoughts about that chapter. I don't really want it to be structured where we have to read the first chapter by this date...I know everyone is busy and we all have different reading styles, so I'm not expecting it to be like homework...I want us to enjoy what we read and hopefully enjoy communicating what we learn, like, and/or dislike about the books.
This could totally bomb and no one will do it but me, but I think it is a cool idea that we could have a bunch of people reading the same book and then talking about it and how it relates to our lives or makes us think.
All that being said, the first book is going to be Wide Awake by Erwin Raphael McManus (Amazon link with description) if you are interested...you can get it for $0.75 on half.com (+$3-4 for s&h link to page with Wide Awake on it for sale).
