Welcome to Book Club

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Book Club. The first rule of Book Club is -- I kid, I kid. Welcome.

I want to mention right off the bat that everyone is welcome to participate, even if you haven't read/finished the book that's being discussed. All spoiler threads will be clearly marked in case you decide to someday read it, but most of the discussions are designed for general input from anyone. This isn't school; there will be no tests or grades!

If you'd like to support Book Club as an endeavor, please consider using the Amazon links from this site. Every referral dollar is very much appreciated, and will count as a vote in favor of Book Club's continued existence.

Finally, discussions will go on as long as they have to... and if this is your first night at Book Club, you HAVE to write! (Sorry, couldn't help myself...)
