I think reading a book a month and meeting once a week to discuss a section of the book is a great idea. So if, for example, the Moonstone had 20 chapters, we could discuss chapters 1-5 in week one and so on. It will be fun at the end to discuss the book as a whole and to see how our perceptions changed as the story progressed.
Weeknights I agree are good, although time might be an issue with all the different time zones...

Some books have natural "section" breaks, others we may want to divide up by chapters. I just wouldn't want people to NOT participate since they haven't finished the book yet.
Oh yes, great idea. It would be more relaxed this way. I had worried a fixed time might get a little frantic, trying to keep up with posts and get opinions out.Lady_Disdain said:Because of time zones, I am not very fond of having a fixed time meeting. I would prefer if we just opened up a thread in the Library board and people posted as usual.
