So I've been thinking about this and I want to try getting a new version of this up and running. There will be some small changes though. First off though I want to get an idea of whether or not there would be any interest. I'm thinking of a maximum of 30 people and once we get interest going we can look into book choice.


So who's interested?

Awesome! Glad to hear there's some interest. Anyone have a particular book they would be interested in as a possible choice? I'll be compiling a list of options from my shelves tonight and post it shortly thereafter in the first post.

I'm in too. For book suggestions, I'll toss out Neuromancer by William Gibson, or The Princess Bride by William Gibson, or one of the classics by Robert Heinlein. Stranger in a Strange Land, perhaps?

I could go for The Princess Bride. I've never read that, but I've always wanted to read it. I cast my vote for that. smile.gif

The Princess Bride sounds like a winner. Looks like this is all that's interested too. Now to figure out the order...

I suspect demand will be higher if/when this thing goes live smile.gif
Never read the Princess Bride either (and I've never seen the movie) so I could be up for it.

i'm in, if y'all will still have me.
As for books considering the general... theology of the LICD forums, I think UTM's suggestion Stranger in a Strange Land very apt. and if selected I'd even spring for the new hard cover copy of the book. (And be the starting point of course wink.gif

I'm totally okay with either book; but I do have to add that my hardbound copy of Princess Bride is in fine shape for world-traveling as well.

I'm down with the Princess Bride. I'll give late-comers a chance to join but for now I'd like to get the ball rolling. I'll PM UTM and the first victim shortly.

This has been sitting dormant for a month. Are you guys still interested? I can get the book mailed out this weekend if someone wants to volunteer to be the first in line.
