I read, therefore I am.
It's a Book Club! And I'm in it!
So, what do we do first, choose a book?
Books smell … musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer … it has no … no texture, no context. It’s there and then it's gone. If its to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible. It should be smelly.

Books.
Huh.
And a thread name, no?
Yay. I care not about the name.
When do we want to start gathering suggestions?
I think first we're going to do some naming?
Personally, I liked the "One Book" tag, and the computers replacing books name.
That's just me.
