The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is a good book. But very popular, so many will already have read it

Excellent book.
So what was the most recent book you guys read?dave123321
Loses a bit of energy as the book chugs along, but overall 'twas engaging reading.
Just out of curiosity, have you read Bone?dave123321No, that's why I'm hesitant. I have heard good things about it, but it's not really a comic book in the traditional sense that something like Watchmen is.

I have heard good things about it, but it's not really a comic book in the traditional sense that something like Watchmen is. Does that really matter? Building Stories isn't either. We shouldn't be afraid to just try things without knowing if we will like them. Otherwise we will just limit ourselves and miss out on stuff we might enjoy.

Also I am the one chooser for each poll, and will pick 1 of the options. President's right. If you think it would not make things too power heavy, I could let you and Kong pick a poll option as well, leaving the other 2 to popular vote. And I agree about the one volume thing, so that means Promethea is out, unless you guys wanna buy the 150 dollar super fancy edition coming out this year (I am). My nomination is All Star Superman.
Appeal to him.Mithrandir50He's going to start sucking up to me a lot if he wants to influence me. IIRC, he called me "annoying" recently. #IForgiveButINeverForget
We are not reading fan fictionsEisenhorn should be the next book. Don't disappoint me, bruce.

I would be interested in reading thatdave123321
If you have never read anything Warhammer 40k, this is the book to start with. It also happens to be my favorite book of all time.
The next round is comics anyways, air. Kong will be the one selecting nominations for the third round. Appeal to him.
I will read it if it is voted for.

This is a lame book club. I thought clubs vote on books?

I am trying to get Bruce to move to a less concentrated process. You can be in charge of the comics round if you want. Your job would be to select a comic of your choice, then three from stuff that the club will bring up(making sure that at least few people showed interest in them). Bruce selects a fifth option. Then he makes the five choice poll for the comic we will readI am trying to get Bruce to move to a less concentrated process. You can be in charge of the comics round if you want.

Thief of Thieves.
...and that's all we have. One vote per round. Please leave, your trolling motives have been revealed (too many times).Mithrandir50
Then why are there positions and committees? You labeled this "OT Book Club". That doesn't put you in charge since OT belongs to all of us. What you've done is facillitate the desire for a book club, despite your single-minded quest for attention from the rest of us.
Dave, no. Thief of Thieves is not a valid option. Stop being like this, man. Also, what's wrong with We3 and V?
It actually looks very good, but we can't do ongoings. If we can, then seriously look into Saga man. Game of Thrones meets Star Wars. Basically gets 10/10 reviews on every site. Anyways, I don't think we should do ongoing series'. Can't ask people to spend that much.[QUOTE="Mithrandir50"][QUOTE="dave123321"]Theives of thieves is the fourth choiceairshocker
So just read the first issue. If people want to do issue #2 as the next suggestion, then you can do that.
We are doing collected editions only. That's the thing. If we got vol 1, and vol 2 comes out pretty soon, but anyways, if we got both, we'd have an incomplete story. Comics is actually a passion of mine and I would love to discuss them with you. Hopefully we can turn around this thread.I got bogged down by 20pph.
Air, I will always have 1 slot on the poll for a book of my choosing. A staff member of my choosing (dave or KK), depending on the round, will also have 1 slot for a personal preference, and they will also select the other 3 nominees based on support and interest in the thread by other users.
And then we vote.
And Dave, no, most certainly not, air will not be involved with the polls or be given any position of power in this book club. He has proven himself nothing other than a spiteful old man. Even when irrelevant, he will come into my threads, which have a great discussion, and bash me. I have no interest in allowing him to select nominations.
I have faith in you, and kk when the time comes, to do that.
Bruce, Dave is already expanding his Vice Presidential powers. As I said before, you need to be careful in dealing with him. I like Dave, but he is dangerous. I recommend us both giving each other special positions within each other's clubs in order to keep Dave from having too much leverage in both at the same time. LaihendiI have no room for expansion. And unfortunately, it seems that neither of us are as interested in the other's clubs to mandate a special position. Perhaps if you show more interest in this club I will give you a position, but as for the film club, count me out. I enjoy film, but a film club doesn't really work with me the same way a book club does. Give it to someone who wants it, Lai.

Bruce, I am not spiteful. I simply believe you're an attention whore, much like other users here.
You're being quite stupid in regard to this thread. Put sh*t up for a vote, and be done with it. It doesn't need to be complicated. The suggestion with the greatest amount of votes wins.
It's not rocket science.

There are positions and committees so people can take over if I'm absent, have specific recruiting responsibilities, and having the responsibility of picking 3 nominations for the poll based on what the people of the thread have expressed. You are correct. This is a book club for OT members. And I am the president and founder. I have no desire to talk to you any further.We need to remove Bruce.dave123321
Is this going to be a GoT-style plot? Or a "Day of the Jackal"-type assassination?

TYRANNY!
You really are an idiot. :lol:
What you should do, if you wanted to be smart about it, would be to come up with a list of suggestions, edit the OP to include them, narrow it down to five choices, and create a new poll.
Instead you want to make it into a clusterfvck.
The committee idea boils my blooddave123321Dave I'm really not liking these posts from you. Air, gtfo this thread. You are not even going to read the books we choose, why do you care? Actually, don't answer. Just leave please.

I've already finished American Gods, and seeing as you wouldn't accept my other two recommendations, what else would you like me to contribute?
I'm telling you you're turning this into a clusterfvck. Whether you choose to listen to me or not is up to you.
Theives of thieves is the fourth choicedave123321
Thief of Thieves*. It's a good comic series. I hear they're making it into a TV show.
