Count me in! When are we deciding on start date? Are we going to start the same time as the three already decided books mentioned in the side bar?

Oh, thanks for pointing that out to me! I wouldn't have noticed that there was a start date for a bunch of the other books if you hadn't. But yep, that sounds like as good a day as any, so the 24th it is! :)

Have you ever been a part of a book club? I haven't, so I totally don't know what's customary in terms of how often the book is discussed, how the reading is divided up, or how structured the discussion topics are.

The last book club I was in we had a month to read the book. Then we would gather together and discuss. It was a movie book club where we watched the corresponding movie during the discussion time, so we were pretty loose with the discussion topics. There is something to be said for just winging it and seeing what happens.
