Ideas for the GoodReads MobileRead group

lilac_jive · 09-20-2009, 03:25 PM

Hey guys-
Now we've got over 100 members on the GoodReads group, but very little postings. I'm trying to get things moving again, and wondered if anyone had some good topics for discussion or things you'd like to see on there. Maybe the bookclub discussion for the runner-up of the book club? Or maybe reading challenges? Any thoughts?

And if you aren't already a member, what are you waiting for?

If you can find a well rounded list (I don't think the 1001 list is) that is short enough for most folks to feel doable, maybe 50-100 books, I think a challenge would be fun. We did one years ago on another forum with the AFI's 100 best movie list (we even revoted the list when we were done) and it was a blast.

Well we could do a challenge with books that are available on MR.

I'd actually forgotten I was a member there - and I get the e-mail updates!
