Cool shit dude!! Let's do this!!!

 

1.) Depends how often people want to read or have time to read. I'd throw out like one book a month, almost anyone could manage that. But if people need more/less time, we could figure it out. Also, some books are bigger than others, you could figure out a time for each book. Think something like "Under the Dome" to "Lord of the Flies" for example. It would take up to a month for Under the Dome, when most people could read Lord of the Flies in a day or two. 

 

2.) I'd rather do a talk about it on here, but could manage a webcam. I just never use mine, I find this easier. But whatever people prefer I guess. We could also just do both.

 

3.) We can all agree on some dope shit or could take turns in picking them. One thing to keep in mind is some books are harder to get than others, and if a book is only in hardcover at the moment it could cost anywhere from $28-$35. Not everyone will want to go out and spend that, or even have to go out to get it at wherever your bookstores are. I say that because up here bookstores are kinda few and far between, most went out of business when Kindle came along. I don't really prefer Kindle, but it's simple as fuck to download books, if someone was looking to avoid going out altogether. They're also cheaper. Members could also set up a Kindle Cloud and everyone can read and share the same books. Not exactly sure how it works, but people I work with do it. I can find out. Then only one person would have to buy the book, and everyone could read it. Just a thought for people who may like and enjoy Kindle, I personally don't like it but millions of other people prefer it. Just a thought.

 

4.) This should be the FLH Book Club motto.

About the cost of the books, you can always torrent or download them online to your device

Wish I could do this but I don't ever have enough time for shit ever.

People who can read are in book clubs.

Stephen King himself admits to being a slow reader. But he's frequent. I'm kinda slow usually. I like to reread sentences that hit me in the taint, And to appreciate sentence structure and page geography. When I was younger I'd read fast but not retain the details, and even miss crucial events in the plot. You can be taught to speed read and retain the info. My mom was taught but didn't keep up on it and eventually lost the ability.

Some books are easier to read than others, some are so detailed that you have to go slower to take it all in. Then there are books by Elmore Leonard for example, and it's basically one conversation after another, and you'll go through it a lot faster. 

I had a teacher who could speed read in 8th grade, dude could correct tests (a lot of them) in like, 4 minutes. Shit was insane, it was like watching Johnny 5 correct your test. He said he could never enjoy reading though, because he just couldn't turn the shit off, and basically wished he had never learned it. I personally think that dude got robbed right there, plus, you just look like a weirdo doing that weird hand shit down the pages, it looks like your obsessive compulsive, or mopping your book. Really no benefit as far as I can see.
