Title: Book Club?
Post by: biotech66 on <06-08-15/0958:52>

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here we go.  I'm way behind in the novels.  Anyone else there too?  I'd like to start a book club to read them, post thoughts, and get caught up.  Who else is up for Fire and Frost?

Looks like they're all on pdf through Drive Thru.  It's cheep and you can upload to your kindle via the PDF function.

I'd be interested depending on the time frame involved.  Where I'm a fast reader...I'm also a busy guy.

I figure we divide the book up in to a few sections (5?) by chapters,  read a section, and post after a week on those sections.  Sound good?

Alright, Monday July 6th, let's have the first 1/5th of Fire and Frost read.  It's two weeks for the first section, then we can do 1 week after there for each fifth.  Sound good?

Alright chummers, we're 1/5 of the way in and we're running around in Chicago.  What's everybody's impression so far?

I'm liking what I'm seeing.  However, I think some of the social introductions are a bit simple.  It's a great book, but a few of the scenes where people meet one another tend to be a bit "You seem trustworthy!" like.

What do people think of the first meeting in Chicago?

So this group is also on the www.shadowrun.com site.  They are a little slower, so we doing the next 1/6 next week Monday.

Anybody keeping pace with this group?
