Book Club and the Disappearing Act

Due to a family emergency, I've fallen woefully behind on posting and reading.
For this, I apologize. Unfortunately, I can't promise regular posts for a little while longer.

In the meanwhile, however, we have a fantastic set of Book Club posts:
1) Simbly Bored's list of non-fic reading is here
2) R.D. is now reading Old Man and the Sea - her post on C. S. Lewis is here
3) Eileen's wonderful "(Not) So Crafty Book Review" - which also totally qualifies for the book club post
and
4) A.B.'s post on "The Wind Done Gone" and I know she's reading a bunch of other wonderful stuff, which you should look out for!

In my absence, Simbly Bored has agreed to take on hosting the book club. But, if you wonderful folks - posting and / or reading - want to take turns, please, please do. And please keep me posted so I can link accordingly.

Happy Reading, folks! And keep me in your thoughts. I'll try and come back as soon as I can!

Invitation: Summer Book-Club-On-A-Blog

Aight. In the spirit of the blogathon, I'm inviting you to a summer e-book club.
I have a book list to get through by the end of June (for exams etc.). And you've (at least hopefully) got the summer on your hands, yes? So, I'm thinking, why not squeeze some blogability out of this, eh?

So here's what I'm proposing:

1. Come up with a list of books that you want to read by June 30, 2011. The list could be as short or as long as you'd like. Those books gathering dust on that shelf there? You want to put those on your list. The ones you're already reading? Perfect, throw them on there too. And feel free to pull from my booklist on the sidebar.
2. The goal is to write one post a week about the book / books that you have read during the week. If you haven't finished a book before your post it due, that's cool beans!, post anyway - talk about your thoughts on the book so far.
3. Ping me so I put you on the blog list again.

What's game? Short Stories, Novellas, Novelettes, Novels, Plays, Poetry, Graphic Novels, Comics. But not magazines; no, really. Not.

Simbly Bored  and RD have said they're game. As has Usha.
A.B, Eileen join me?

And anyone else who wants to get on board with this, comment below or mail me and I'll put you on the list!
