Chelsea here!
Hope you’re still reading Revolutionary Road with us. We had some great discussion via disqus comments on the first 5 chapters. Let’s move on to the next.
I’ll open up the floor to comments on the book in its entirety. I would imagine you’re either finished, or near the end, so please keep your comments free of any spoilers. Be cognizent of your other readers!
Let’s keep the last 90 pages discussion to the end of the month. Otherwise, disqus away!
So, it’s the weekend.
I hope you have the time to stop by and let us know how you’re enjoying the book so far. Maybe we can set up some kind of a chat at some point over the weekend.
For starters, please comment, write on your blog and link us, whatever you want to do. I know this isn’t terribly organized yet, but we’ll work out all the kinks as we go.
Open discussion on chapters 1-5- Go!
Open for discussion on the 10th. Then we’ll do the second third by the 20th and the last 1/3rd on the 30th.
How does that sound to everyone?
Hi everyone. I (Josh) happen to have an extra copy of Revolutionary Road. I can probably get a couple more too, if needed. If you need a copy, send an e-mail with your address to tumblrbookclub@gmail.com and I’ll send it out to you asap.
Thanks!
Edit: The extra copy is gone. I’ll let you all know if I can get more discounted copies.
Your January reading selection.
More details coming soon.
In about 15 minutes the votes doubled! Now we have a winner by a long shot!
I would just close them right now, but I have a two-way tie.
We are stuck between American Psycho and Revolutionary Road, and American Gods is in a close 3rd.
If you’ve already voted, go vote again for your choice. Feel free to campaign for your book of choice!
I just voted again for Revolutionary Road. I want to get it done before I see the movie and American Psycho is to gorey for me.
Thanks guys! I’m giving it an hour. If it’s still a tie, I’m going to call it myself.
Our first poll is now available for your voting pleasure. We received many awesome suggestions from you all! We weren’t able to put all of the suggestions on this poll but we’ll make sure to include them on future ones. Here is a rundown of the books you can vote on:
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
Angels in America by Tony Kushner
Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates
Downhill Chance by Donna Morrissey
The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
The Savage Detectives by Robert Bolano
You can vote by either visiting our tumblr or by going to the poll page.
Get your vote on!
Book club is up to 48 followers! Hooray!
If you would like to suggest a book or two, please get it ready to email to us at tumblrbookclub@gmail.com. It would be good if we had a link to a synopsis of your suggestion, possibly its Amazon page, or whatever.
Sufjanssteven suggested we choose via google poll, which is what will happen. We will try to get a quick turn around on the vote, so it gives everyone a fair amount of time to pick up the chosen book.
Book club will not follow anyone, just to help keep the posts organized. Please make sure you are following to let us know you are participating, and if you talk to anyone, please make sure they know that.
Thanks guys! We’re excited!
