Welcome
Welcome to the "My Two Cents" Book Club--a book club for the rest of us. This will be the primary space for our book discussions. Each month, a different member will be responsible for choosing a book to read. Primarily, we'll focus on popular fiction, but you can also choose non-fiction, literary fiction, etc. if you have strong feelings about a particular book. Instead of a "live" discussion, we will conduct our dialogue via this blog. There will be an open comment period (usually one week in duration) during which we will have the opportunity to offer thoughts, impressions, answer/ask questions about the book. The person who chose the book will be responsible for moderating the discussion. How you do this is up to you--you can post questions, highlight themes from the book, etc. Once we have a clearer idea of who is participating, I will post a list of members and assign you each a month to be in charge of picking a book and moderating the discussion. This is supposed to be a casual, low pressure club, so feel free to participate as little or as much as you would like. If for some reason, you can't participate during your assigned month, let me know and we'll swap months or I'll fill in for you. Thanks, and happy reading.
