Online Reading Groups - recommend a good one?

[GeorginaA]

Does anyone belong to a really good online reading group - i.e. one where you have a set book in the month to read and discuss? Guardian Online used to have a good one that I used to do yonks ago, but looks like they stopped in October 2004

The Saturday Times do one, and they've had a good selection of books so far. Shall I try and find it?

Yes please, tamum. Thank you!

Yee gads, found it but looks like it's every week - I struggle to get through a book a month

Here you go!

Damn, you beat me to it. You could just choose not to do them all though, couldn't you? If you did the first one each month that wouldn't be cheating by cherry picking books you'd have read anyway, would it

True, but I know me, I would feel obliged to buy every book and then I'd get raised eyebrows from dh about the increasing pile of unread books by the bedside

Georgina, have you seen this group? The Bookgroup Online. It might be what you're looking for. Hth.

Ooo that looks good, suedonim... shall have a browse. Thank you.

The Guardian have a good one too. Also check out www.encompass.com

The Guardian one unfortunately doesn't seem to have done one for about a year, compo, unless they've renamed/moved it on the site and I just can't find it The other one you linked to looks good!

I've found a few now, but they've all either died a death or are on their way out, or people just comment once about a book rather than get involved in a discussion. Maybe I should just pick books at random in the supermarket then kick threads off on hear about them!

Hi Georgina - the reader-in-residence on the site i posted is one of my best friends!! Didn't know about the Guradian one though!
