Choose One. Poll closes on Monday.
I voted thompson cause im probably going to reread the hobbit before i see the movie and tolkien is so dense "like a lot of material" that i feel like reading two of his books at the same time would get to be overpowering.
p.sure American Gods won
discussion stuff will start on Wednesday/Thursday
So how do we do this

So how do we do this
you read the book, then get together in a google- hangout and talk about things that don't relate to the book
How much am I supposed to read
So I have to read it all by Wednesday/Thursday?
I don't think I'm cut out for this.
dp, explain how this is going to work cry;
I'm thinking read 5 chapters a week
(there's 20 in all, so we should be able to finish on or before the 30th)
I'll post a discussion every Wednesday/Thursday we can discuss it on boyah or in a google piss hangout.

why did no one vote 4 theogony
because I already own American Gods
which I finally started
yay
So I'm a few chapters in.
How/when do we talk about this shit.
I bet no one else reads it and this is just an excuse to get out of the house and drink wine
