"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yay. I care not about the name.
When do we want to start gathering suggestions?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The Buffista Book Club 1: It should be smelly.

That works, too! We've really got a plethora of Giles' quotes for future titles.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like JenP's slug or description or whatever it was.
All the names are good, I don't care which one we go with.
Do we have to decide what sort of books to start with or do we go straight to suggestions?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think we go straight for suggestions, though I would suggest that we don't try like, "Rememberance of Things Past" right off the bat.
ETA- Smelly and the plug are fine with me.

Yes, how are we going to handle the whole suggestion process. Do we make any ground rules, other than say, it must be written in a language we can all understand and must not cause the proliferation of bunnies if read aloud?
Because, I got one.

Is there some randoming thing. 'Cause I'm thinking we give, 2-3 days to let people volunteeer to pick. Random up their names and then go from there. Whoever was going to do the randoming probably shouldn't be in the running for a book- not that they would unrandom the randoming, but that way there'd never even be a question.
I have a book I'd like to suggest, but if no one wants to do the randoming- I'll do that.

Randoming works for me- I've got one that I'd love to have people talk about with me, but it by no means needs to be a first, second, or even third book. Just an idea. Since I've got to go to work now, I'll just throw it out for people to put into a pool- I mentioned it the other day, and I believe only one person in Literary had read it- Into the Forest by Jean Heglund.
Aight, off to work I go- I can't wait to check back in tommorrow to see what people have come up with!
