I wanted to propose some more formal guidelines so that we aren't lingering over one book for so long. I admit I am a bad slacker (not quite finished with Haunted, but can be done in a night), and I'd like to keep doing this because your suggestions have been so enjoyable. What about this, if we do a monthly format:
On the 15th of the month, the next moderator will announce their book choice for next month. Or, for KC, that would be soon. This gives us two weeks to start the book, if we need extra time, or to request it from the library, because I am so cheap.
Discussion could start around, say, the 10th or 15th of the actual month and remain active until the end of the month.
Or we could stretch this to a bimonthly format, but it's harder to get back into the discussion if we finish at such varying times, I think.
My other thought is that perhaps there would be a few months a year for a break ... I'm thinking mostly that G and B will be taking finals, and KC giving them, so maybe December and May should be off months. If we're still doing this by then, anyway.
What do you guys think? Is this too ambitious for all of our new kids in school?

I like the idea. I prefer monthly rather than bimonthly or free-form.
I agree. One month. So, I announce my book now, and we discuss it after Sept. 10 or so?
Does that sound OK? Is this too structured? It might just keep us on more the same pace. I don't have school or a second job like most of you, so I hope I'm being reasonable.
Sounds good to me, cl.
