I am new to this site, I've been on a couple of other forums hoping to find people who would like to read books together and discuss them, an online book club, if you will. I was wondering if there is a subforum like this here, or if anyone would like to read and discuss books with me, or direct me to a website with bookclubs. I tried a book club at my local library, but it was unsatisfactory as each person made one comment and that was that.

I am personally open to reading anything, although I prefer classics.

If anyone is interested, let me know through either pm or this thread.

Which perspectives are people interested in? Lots of angles to choose from.

Name some Christian authors you like. Osteen? Meyers? Prince?

Or more like Luther, Beeke, Thomas Watson, Richard Sibbes?

Dickens, Austen, Brontes Christian novelists more than books about theology. But I'm open to reading anything.

Oh right, yeah, those are outside my pay grade. I tried Austen, not really my thing.

I figured since you were into Rocky, you were probably into The Godfather. They go hand in hand to me.

I have never seen a Godfather movie. Maybe over the holidays I should.

I haven't either, but from what I know about them, they're not exactly CHRISTMAS movies. But maybe the family that whacks together stays together? So who knows?

Oh, I don't know. Sometimes, sequels can be better than the originals. I liked Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire better than Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

I think Godfather II won the Academy Award for Picture of the Year while The Godfather didn't, but I don't know for sure.

Be prepared for Harry's lesser-known adventure:

"Harry Potter... and the Circle of Stoning".

Maybe I need to go dig out my invisibility cloak and hunker down.
