I was thinking it would be interesting to get other people's opinions on books I've reviewed. Would anyone be interested in this?
Would anyone also want to write reviews on books I haven't reviewed?

Sure. Right now I'm halfway into 'Gates of Fire' by Steven Pressfield. So far so good. I'll post a full review for you next week if you'd like.

I just finished Master and Commander and will be starting Sharpe's Havoc. Then I'm borrowing my roommate's Scottish romance novels.

Scottish romance? Wouldn't that be man of sheep porn?
I just got Master and Commander on DVD today from the library, they were out of the book.

HAHAHA!
I just figure my last few books have had WAY too much testoserone, and I've never read a romance book before. It's sort of an experiment.

FYI, The Far Side of the World is actually the tenth book. I only read the first (and at thirteen bucks a pop, those books are expensive...)

I tried to get something like this going a while back. Hopefully, there'll be more interest and free time to get more book reviews off the ground right now.

The problem with what you started earlier was that there was no organization. I was all for it, but we need someone to be in charge to choose the books. If everyone is still interested I'd still do it.

These are the people that have shown interest in this:
The Doctor
Joe Mama
Stupid Dogg
rex
Cowgirl Jack
If anyone else is intersted, say so.
Lets start with one book a month, Starting with Febuary. If we're able to have more than one a month. We can all nominate books to be read, then we can vote on it.
The rules are:
No really long books. Lets keep it under 500 pages.
No heavy sci-fi or fantasy books that are part of a series. The books should be stand alone books.
I'll pick out a book by tomorrow.
