Living in a very, very rural area facilities are limited and I find myself using the Internet for more and more of the activities I used to undertake face-to-face.
I read a lot and it occurred to me that there might be other readers out there who would welcome the opportunity to get together in a virtual sense to read and discuss books.
My thoughts haven’t consolidated into a plan. Yet. Perhaps a discussion forum, a chat room, a telephone conference call or chat on Skype?
Fiction or non-fiction or a mixture of both?
Perhaps a couple of book choices each month to keep everyone happy?
I’d be happy to host the technology but don’t have time to police it so it would be behind a membership screen to keep out trolls and spammers. No fees or charges but everyone is responsible for sourcing their own copy of the books to be read.
Perhaps individuals recommending books and taking the lead in starting and stewarding the discussion?
Is there any interest or appetite for this?
Or, perhaps you know of a good online reading group already that I might be welcome to join?
Either leave your thoughts in a comment or make use of the contact form.
I shall be interested to know what you think.
