Quick and Dirty Group Read?

[glinda]

So, with the recent LJ exodus and the resulting flowering of activity over here on Dreamwidth, someone has decided to resurrect three_weeks_for_dw to keep the momentum going. At the end of the last November Group Read there was a wee flutter of discussion about having more regular group reads - perhaps having one in May... So I was thinking we could jump on the bandwagon, have a wee round of attempting to read as many books that having been lurking on our shelves for ages, in the next 3 weeks and get some new members at the same time? (Maybe more people for the more traditional group reads that this comm was originally aimed at?) For extra fun/content we could even review the books we read for this in our own journals and tag them 'three weeks for dreamwidth' or 'three weeks'?

Anyone up for it?

Edit: Three people seems enough to start with, let's have at it!

I'm in for reading - not sure I'll get to the reviewing! Not sure how many - I'll need to think about what I'm planning on reading and how big before saying how many.

Let's do this thing then! :D

Ok, so I'm going to attempt to read 3 books from my shelf over the coming three weeks! Shall we say 3 weeks from now?

I shall aim for six from this list...

1. Through The Narrow Gate by Karen Armstrong
2. Death of Grass by John Christopher
3. Lady Friday by Garth Nix
4. Behind a Mask by Louisa May Alcott
5. Uprooted by Naomi Novak
6. When the Sky Fell : In Search of Atlantis by Rand Flem Ath
7. Backlash by Lynda La Plante
8. The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
9. The Girl with No Name by Marina Chapman
10. The Man who Broke into Auschwitz by Dennis Avey

And as such I've started "Death of Grass", "Behind a Mask" and "Backlash".

Good luck!

I read Uprooted at the tail end of last year and really enjoyed it!

I'll try and aim for three books.
