Title: Genre Book Club
Post by: Beefy on March 11, 2005, 04:30:50 PM
I was thinking about a different type of reading group, one that focuses on genre novels.  A genre could be chosen, suggestions made on books people haven't read before, and so on.

Yes, I'm talking sci-fi, horror, western, romance, etc., and all the sub-genres therein.

Thoughts?  Interest?

So, no deadlines and required discussions?

Well, I think the point with all such groups is to have people to discuss them with.

Oh.  Then I guess I'm unclear on what you're suggesting.

Typical book club structure, just focusing on genre novels.  Or those novels that are considered genre novels.  Or sub-genre novels.  Or sub-sub-genre novels.

I sure as hell don't know what he's talking about.  Aren't all books actually genre books?  Yes.

Dink.
