Generally, what we do is start a new thread, announce the book we will be reading, give it a reasonable deadline so that people can have a chance to GET the book (but not too much time because in our prior experience people kept putting it off for MONTHS and even when we reached the deadline and started discussing the book, people were bitching that they hadn't gotten it, yet), and then we start reading it, generally in small installments so that everybody is "on the same page," so to speak.

I could guide the discussion, if you'd like, since I have experience in this stuff.

The big key is that we are all at the same point in the book, nobody jumps ahead of the discussion so that there are no "spoilers."

Make sense?

Lit classes are pretty much set up the same way.

I'll go start a thread, now, even if only three or four of us are interested.
