A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Nuh-uh! I'm perfect and fix my own typos!
It's everyone else who should be using the quick-edits.

I LOVE THIS!
Sorry for the asscaps. Very excited about the book club.
Also--I (and probably Kat and likely many others) have a ton of book discussion formats etc from teaching experience. If anyone is interested once we get started, I'd be happy to suggest some. Obviously fine if we all prefer more free-form as well.
A great book to look at (it's about teaching English reading, but still a great set of suggestions) is Jim Burke's Reading Reminders.
Anyway....I suppose this should be posted in the thread when it opens. Is it open?

It's open. Get yourself over there. I haven't been involved in any book discussion forum other than in comfy chairs chatting with my mother and siblings. Input from more experienced book forum people is a good thing.
exposty with a link and everything!

It seems that the Book Club Thread has consensed the following. Could a stompy please update at his or her convenience? And thanks.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
All set.

Thanks, DX.
