I am not making this up.

Ok, so this was an idea I had and I got the go from our fearless leader to run this so I'm going to! (Fasten your seat belts!) I was hoping we could get it organized in time to start in January with the new year and all but first we have to figure out how its going to work and for that I need you!

Basically my scheme was that everyone who wants to be involved chooses a book and then we put them all in a hat and draw them to decide what order everything is read in. We can all discuss general bs about it and the person who nominated it could maybe come up with a few general discussion questions like "Do you think Jacen Solo's descent to the dark side is a metaphore for contemporary American politics? Discuss." (They don't have to be that deep. I just wanted to sound pretentious.)

So basically I want to know if you guys have ideas for how to improve this or change it up to make it awesome! Also, we need to decide how much time we give each book. Like, a month seems like it would make sense but everyone is busy and stuff comes up plus people need time to get the books from the library or the store or paperbackswap.com or whatever so maybe we need more time. A month and a half? Two months? Something else?

Have at it!

Edit: I went on random.org and put in what we have so far to create a schedule!

Perhaps you don't believe we actually have a Strategic Helium Reserve. Perhaps you are a fool.
