Well I did a search and couldn't find this thread already existing but if it does can a mod just combine this post with the old thread so at to bump it?

I think that we should have a thread where we can all read a book together then review it and move onto another book in a cyclical manner.

Anybody care to nominate the first book? I thought we could start basic like something by Orwell most people have/want to read and already have opinions on too.

i mean we could read either but my reasons are personal ie. i read it before 1984 so it needs refreshing and generally i think it's a better book

^ there's no harm in having two different groups running a different book at the same time. i think the site is active enough to sustain it.

that is a study on theory... this is a group reading a good book and discussing it.&nsbp;&nsbp;

Brave New Wolrd is good aswell but I have read both books and 1984 is definitly better in my opinion.

it seems like the froup cote is for 1984 so far so we&#39;ll do that as a group and I&#39;ll sit it out as I have library fines but I own a copy of Brave New World. Unless you want to leave it open for a while longer by group sonsensus to see if more want to read Brave New World?

How bout A Brave new World in one topic- 1984 in a second topic. I think we are all up to doing both at the same time. :D

That would defeat the point of the idea let&#39;s just read 1984; I&#39;ll sit it out and join in on another one.
