Weekly Review - Volunteers needed

[Pete]

I have an idea. Ever week we can have a review of a fiction and nonfiction book to be posted in a special sticky (which only the reviewers can post in). I will do an example over the next few days for The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan and Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedriech Nietzche. It may take me to next week, but they will be quality. All volunteers reply here and I will think of some titles (pm me if you ahve any) and when I have atleast 3 or 4 volunteers the titles can be handed out. Up with literacy che-lives way!

OOO!! I wanna review some book... Do you want me to read those two books you just stated though? lol...
I don't really have any ideas for books though.

[Blibblob]

Oh... I forgot, I'll be gone this week though...

[Pete]

I am doing this week. Don't worry.

[Blibblob]

YAY! Sheesh, and before I came to this site... I used to dispise writing anything more than two lines long...

i'm reading Long Walk to Freedom by Mandela, I could do a review. I even know someone who worked with Mandela, and he is even a communist!

The sample Fiction Review (http://www.che-lives.com/cgi/community/topic.pl?forum=21&topic=538) is up. I did Ender's Game instead of Eye of the World because of my mood at the moment. Questions. Comments.

I'll do Hard Work by POlly Toynbee for non-fiction sometime if you want. Fiction-wise I could do tess of the d'urbervilles, catcher in the rye, the solitaire mystery, or something else if you want.

[Pete]

Okay, I did that sample fiction so next week (Let us say next Wendsday) Lev to do the Long Walk to Freedom and Mental to do Catcher in the Rye (I love that book:) ) Does that sound good to everyone?

[Pete]

For the 18th, Blib, do 1984 if you can get it and read it :)

[Blibblob]

Read it. Made notes in the book, it's a little marked up and folded now...

That's two weeks from now, right?

[Pete]

ya

[mentalbunny]

What date do I have to submit it on? Can you PM me to make sure i know? Cos I'm in the middle of exams and I can't promise to remember! I'll try to do the review in the next few days.

By the way, we could also have a few people reviewing the same book, so people get different perspectives. If we have that then maybe we could have 2 books a month or something, how's that? Just an idea.

[Pete]

two a month is easier ya. don't worry mental. just when you are done post it and have the subtitle "SOMETHING REVIEW"

[mentalbunny]

Cool, well I'm re-reading it to remind myself, I'll probably get it up at the weekend.
