Book Club Ideas Abound!
Posted by: David Bunch
Thanks for your feedback on the book club idea. There seems to be a decent amount of interest, plus I have some behind the scenes lobbying going on (the Brad and my wife Farrah, for example). So we might have the beginnings of a good, online book club. Right now I'm researching online book clubs to get some ideas of formats, forums, etc., but I welcome any and all ideas, feedback, criticisms...
Liz. Since you've had your face rocked off by the O'Malley series and because you seem so passionate, I'm willing to give the Dekker trilogy a try. Also, we just moved as part of our "downsizing for Ireland" and my commute just got longer, so an audio book sounds good at the moment. But my reservations on Dekker stem from having heard him speak about four years ago at a conference. He never completed a thought or made any sense. So I thought that if he wrote like he spoke, it must be pretty rough. But on your recommendation I'll give him a chance and assume he's a writer and not a speaker!
Seriously, thanks for the heads up.

I have just read the Faith Abbey series by David Manual - the main character is a monk who gets involved in mysteries. Plus it has lots of spiritual nuggets that make you think - you may want to try this series.
I would most definitely participate in an online book discussion group!
