The Tipping Point

Hi all!

Has everyone been reading? What do you think? It is not exactly a page turner...a little bit more intellectual, but I think interesting none the less. It reminds of psychology stuff which makes me happy. Where is everyone in the book? What do you think to be true? What do you think about connectors? Just wanted to see others thoughts!

List of Novels

This list is only of novels, but it could help remind us of books we have wanted to read!

Lets Pick a BOOK!

Hey everyone who has decided to be a dedicated Sewanee Alumni reader! I hope your holiday season has left you energetic and renewed for 2009! I have been reading on my own, but thought it might be nice to have a place where you can turn to discuss concerns about characters or ideas while you are reading! I am not following a book club guideline which allows us to make this process fun and flexible to our own schedules. SO who's with me???? First I think everyone should suggest maybe a book they have wanted to read or something they might want to read again. I think if too many people have read the book and don't want to re-read it again we should find one that everyone can agree on. Also we should decide if we want to discuss a certain number of chapters read per week(s) or read a book a month and discuss at the end- all ideas are welcome. Hopefully the books will be accessible through libraries or borrowing, or maybe buying if not too expensive. Let me know what you think and we will get this thing going in the next week or so. If you are currently reading a book- suggest it too which comes to my first suggestion- "The Patron Saint of Liars" by Ann Patchett. Hope to hear from you soon!
