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

Not to be argumentative, but then why didn't you (all)?
We had a schedule for reading some of the short stories first, then we wanted to give people time to read it.

Because books.
We had a schedule for reading some of the short stories first, then we wanted to give people time to read it.
The thing is, though, no one showed up.
Like I said, I'd be willing to try it again after the holidays, but I don't have great hopes for it. If the consensus is to close it, I'd be sad that we couldn't muster more enthusiasm for it, but it's not like there's not already a place to talk books in Literary.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From the looks of things, Baskerville was scheduled for September. Which it no longer is.
It can be closed for potential reopening as easily as LotR, but from an outsider's perspective, I'm not sure if the experiment worked.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I was for it, but it didn't work in practice. I think there may be a way to make a Buffista book club work, but this wasn't it.

So, is there a proposal to close it?

I was enthusiastically for it when the idea first came up, but I see it as something we tried that didn't really work out. No harm, no foul. Sometimes ideas just don't pan out.
I'm glad we tried. I'm sorry that it didn't work. I think it's time to move on.

There should be no proposals until the current one's done.

Well, that's not happening here.
