From the below MR link is the social groups page listing the various groups on this forum..

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/group.php?do=grouplist

I've quoted from that page...

Book Club
Group Maintained by pilotbob

The Mobileread Book Club is an informal group which every month selects a book to read and then discuss on the forums.

Each month on the third week a thread is created to gather nominations for the next months book based on an established genre schedule. After 5 days or ten books being nominated a poll is created. The poll is open to all and runs for 5 days.

Each month on the fourth week a discussion thread is created for that months book. This thread is open for everyone to post their impressions, reviews etc. about the book.

The MRBC threads are in the "Reading Recommendations" section. There are no requirements to join and no dues. Join in on the fun. We'll see you in the forums.

It's very information. Read the Welcome Info / Intro thread:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30382

If you have any questions, ask in that thread to keep everything in one place.

We also have a Book Club group if you go to the Community section of Mobile Read.

Thanks.... you saved me a few mouse clicks. Although, I might end up downloading it to my Kindle directly using the MR Download Guide.

I've started Three Men in a Boat and have finished chapter 1. Not a laugh or a giggle yet.

Good news for folks with diametrically different tastes (us 'Passage to India' fans for example).
We'll probably bust a gasket on this one!

I know we're not discussing this yet, but I did want to report that I read the first four chapters last night. Not hysterically funny, but amusing.

Yes, amusing is a good way to describe things. Another word that comes to mind is quaint.

I did finish The Discworld book Lords and Ladies and yes, it did have groans and laugh-out-louds in it. Maybe we should have chosen a Discworld book instead.
