    Oh, have you considered using the chatroom for discussions?

    I hadn't even thought of it, actually! I imagine we could probably start a thread in here and do live chats in the chat room, too. As long as it wouldn't be an issue for the pet talkers who aren't part of the book thing...

    Maybe they'd allow us to book some time, for an hour or so We could have the thread discussion on going and one or two live discussions

    I think that sounds good. I sent the Kay, the group master a private message. So, we'll just wait for her stamp of approval. I know that she's scheduled the chat at 8 pm for Pet Talk to get together...I wonder what would be a good time for the book club? Hmmm....I definitely think an on-going thread will be a must!

    Hey, Sandra. Kay let me know today that we can use the chat room she created, if we want to. So, we just have to decide on a good time to have the discussions...basically, we can do it as long as we don't overlap the 8 o'clock, eastern time chat that has already been started.

    EDITED: Because of personal issues, the chat room is not being open to the book club for discussion. I don't know how to start one up, but, if we want to have a live chat along with the thread that we'll start in here, I'd be willing to help out, but, I'd need some guidance. Sorry for the confusion, guys!

    Oh, ok...I'm clueless re: setting up chat rooms but maybe someone else can help out...

    Also wanted to echo Karen's suggestion from last night, re: each week or session, we discuss selected chapters. That's how we've done it the book clubsI've belonged to, "Next week we read chapters 1-4 and discuss," blah, blah. That way too, people don't have to finish the entire book before the discussion date!

    That could work, but, I was mostly just thinking about people who haven't even received the book yet. I don't know...maybe I should set up a poll? Geez, I have never even done THAT before! Ha ha, I'm lame on the computer. Anyway, I'm heading out for the day, but, if y'all want to discuss the splitting of the chapters up, or the reading the whole book...etc...that's cool! I'll check the threads again when I get back home!

    Catch up later but I meant that well, of course read the whole book at your own pace but that each session, several chapters could be the focus of the discussion, something like that. I've found that the discussions tend be more interesting; our perceptions, impressions discussed on an evolving basis as the plots moves on. But I'm game for anything, anyway you all would like to set it up We can experiement and change our approach as the months go by too!

    I think thats a good idea.

    I can set a chat up for you, or show you how to if you'd like.

    That would be awesome if you could set up a chat room for the book discussions! I am just clueless on where to even go!

    Alright. When does it need to be set up for? Is it alright if I do it tomorrow?
