Hi everyone!!! The Outbound Flight bookclub meeting went great last night! We had some very good discussions. I know some of you were unable to make it due to other factors. So.... I wanted to throw out an idea. We can leave the book club the way it is set up (meeting the first tuesday of the month at 8pm CST). Or.... my new thought was to just open the bookclub discussion thread on the morning of the first tuesday of the month...and the leave it open for discussion for two days. That way if you have to work or can't make it at 8pm on tuesday, you can just post whenever you have a chance tuesday or wednesday. We'd end discussion & close the thread on thursday morning. People would just have to keep checking in the thread on tuesday & wednesday to see everyone else had posted..... It makes no difference to me...I just thought it may be easier for more people to 'attend' the meeting if we discussed it over two days. Hey..were new with bookclub...we'll get all of the wrinkles worked out Please vote so we can see if we want to make the change or leave it the way it is. Thanks!!!

I kinda like the 2 day discussion. I may not be able to make some Tuesdays due to my work schedule, so this would be more open. Heck, we can even leave it open ofr 3-5 days if it helps out

Well we could kinda do it both ways... we could open the thread that morning, but anyone who can meet at 8pmCST, do so. It's part of the fun, meeting all at once. Then we could leave it open for two days or so.
I have a question... why close the thread at all? We have open threads on other novels, and people occasionally comment on them. Just a thought. If you think it's better to archive them to clean up the forum, that fine too.
I sorta vote both.

That was my thought as well, leda.
Keep it open...other books are released....other things happen in our lives...perspectives may change. keeping things on topic is often difficult to do over time, though.
Still meet at the prearranged time for rapid fire forums discussions

Yeah...great idea everyone! Like I said...we are still working out all of the details...that's why it's great to brainstorm. We can always change things as needed. Let's do that...open the thread in the morning. We'll still meet at 8pm (for the 'rapid fire') meetings...i agree..they are most of the fun . Then we can leave the forms open for good (I just thought we had to close them so we didn't take up to much space on the server). If we can leave them open, then people who read the book months (shoot years!) later can always post or we can go back to them for more discussion. Way cool! thanks everyone!
