Ah how often do we want to be doing this? I thought 1 a month would give everyone enough time to purchase and read it, but if we're all avid readers maybe we should do 2 a month? Let's see how many people get through it by the end of the week. I'll make a discussion thread if you want to start talking about it though. I originally thought we'd discuss it by chapters but maybe finishing the book and discussing it in it's entirety would be better? thoughts? | |

| I just finished this weekend. It was a pretty easy read so I would start discussion on the whole book rather than just specific chapters. Calling the BrainPal(TM) Asshole made me lol irl. I also want to kill 1" tall aliens like Godzilla rampaging through Tokyo. |

+25 Internets | I'm not a fast reader, if anything I read pretty slow, but this book flowed really easy. It's not hard to digest, which I think is a credit to the author. Then again, I feel the same way about Clarke and Asimov too. They're not trying to "wow" you with prose, it's the idea that's important.

 Two a month seems good, some won't keep pace but it'll give lots of variety.

| Got it and starting today. I'm also a really fast reader but I'd like to keep to one a month. We go to two a month and its going to start digging into the other books I want to read.

+3 Internets | In the middle of the last Potter book atm that I am making time to finish by this weekend (if time starts going by any faster it will be 2010 next week). I hope you guys do go with two a month I am in for sure on the next one. PS anyone else geeky enough to be in on the Potter Dead pool? |
