Um, I propose that the Book Club thread be closed.
It just seems like it Didn't Work Out, despite valiant efforts.
Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles. Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We got dizzy circles here.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I second the Mizrahi Cowgirl.

Thanks, O Scraptastic One! But the seconding's been done. Now we're discussing. Or, you know, not.

Well, um, I AGREE with the Mizrahi Cowgirl then. There, that's discussion-y.

Our wings are not tired.
I have nothing to add to the discussion other than expressing my guilt at not participating in a thread that I thought would be a great idea.
I love my IRL book club. We don't all finish our books by the appointed date, but lively rapid fire discussion always happens. I somehow wasn't able to make that happen here.
Sad, but I have to be in the "oh well, it didn't work out" camp.

Because books.

Me, too.

Alas, yes.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
People who were reading the Holmes stuff... are there tentative plans to discuss one of those after the holidays? If so, perhaps the closing proposal should include a closing date that allows for this.

There's no mention of that in the thread, as far as I could see.

Personally, I think that boat sailed. And despite Deena's generous efforts in putting the stuff up online for us, and Nilly's fabulous comments, discussion just seemed to fizzle out.
In B'craxy a few weeks ago, I mentioned maybe starting up discussion about something again after the holidays, whether Holmes or other, but the truth is I won't have time. I was the one who nominated Baskervilles, after all, and I didn't even show up to discuss it.
