I think the title, no matter what the thread should be something like:
It's like a book club. But with Foamy
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?
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.

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.

Oops. I left the final period off of the slug when I pasted it here. My bad. When you get a chance ...
And again with the thanks.
