I love the book too, and had often wondered what other's perceptions would be. I think that Tuesdays With Morrie is an individual book - meaning that each person will probably take something away that is different from someone else only because the life that they live is different. There are many selections similar to that on those lists.

What I like about the Random House site is that there are already discussion questions specific to the book. No one would have to read ahead in order to anticipate what to talk about. Makes it easier. There are also links to download the book as an ebook, audio book, or a place to purchase if someone wanted to. Easy, easy, easy... :D

And if we go down the list alphabetically by nick, each person would have the ability to pick something out in turn. Easy... :D

One of the stipulations that we could have is that everyone has to read the book naked.. and when there is a live discussion, you must be in the buff ;)

Sound good??? :D

I almost always read in the buff, but considering I could only participate in the discussion while at work... well, that might not work out so well. :p

LOL - as long as we can visualize you reading your book naked that would be ok.. :D Hey!!! New thread idea... members can take pics of themselves reading in the nude.. ;)

Please add me to the list of readers. :) I may not keep up but will check in when I can.

As far as reading nude..... Can that wait til warmer weather? New England in Jan. just isn't a good time for that. brrrrrrrrrr!!!

I've never slept nude but with so many sexy, hot bodies to cuddle with it sounds good to me. :D

i think that is yet another excellent idea, lil (what do you come up with when you actually think about it...scary :p :D ) so ...we can use random house, or something similar, to help spring-board discussion ideas and go through people's suggestions alphabetically-by nic, not book :D- 'cuase people may not wanna give out b-days. it will free up the time that we woulda needed to wait for suggestions to come in and votes to be cast.

and teddy--put on a robe if you're cold hun...just leave it a bit open in the front ;)

Here are three places I found that have discussion guides along with different types of books:

there is a cornucopia of reference materials out there...just google it :D

I've been watching quietly from my little corner... and seeing the new spin of variety, I must say that I'm interested as well. Count me in... Can't guarantee I will make it through every book, I'm a hot and cold reader... read like mad when the mood strikes me and the take a long time to get re-motivated. But hopefully we'll see a nice variety of books that keep my interests piqued.

Don't ask how...but I can swear in a court of law that this is indeed the truth:D

oh...now i'm curious :p :D

I'd love to be in a book group with all you wonderful pixies!
