    Hi Friends,

    This thread is a humble attempt at reviving our book club.
    We have all been reading different books, 'separately'. Book Club will bridge the gap and make us all come together to read a book per month 'together'.:thumbsup.

    The rules for the Book Club go like this:
    1) Every month before 20th we set up a nominations thread
    2) We can decide a flavour for the month or the books could be just randomly nominated.
    3) Each IL member gets to nominate 1 book every month.
    4) Nominations close by 22nd every month.
    5) The first five nominations will be set up for poll.
    6) Voting is frozen by 28th of each month.
    7) The book which wins the highest number of votes becomes the book of the month.
    8) All members(interested) then start reading the book from the 1st of the subsequent month.
    (we shall help them procure the book if need be :cheers)
    9) And the member whose nomination is selected as the book of the month has to lead the discussion on the book in a different thread(without revealing the suspense/giving out spoilers at any point of time).
    10) This is a good way for all of us to come together.

    I personally would prefer Fiction books to start with because they are easier to assimilate and discuss upon. We shall spread out to non-fiction books in coming months. So girls are you ready?

    With this intro, the thread is formally declared open.

    PS: Please feel free to revert if you find the rules confusing..even I am slightly confused reading what I have just written..:rotfl..

    Yes we had a discussion with Super-mods and we came to the conclusion that we can share the books through PM.
    The burden of getting an e-copy is on the Mods...

    So Happy Reading Folks!
