So I have this idea, and it might be crazy and it might not. I either expect to receive many responses, or none at all (except for my sweet girlfriend and people who are just going to post because I said I expect no responses).

Anyway, if you read my blogs, you know I enjoy reading. You also know I have trouble staying focused on one book. My mind, life, and interests race all over the place, and so I have trouble staying committed to a book. Therefore, it’s difficult for me to finish a book.

Well, many of you have admitted to the same thing. So, I have an idea that might help us all stay focused on reading, and also learn more from what we’re reading. 

Without sounding too much like Oprah, I think it would be cool if me and whoever else wants to started reading the same book(s) and then used this blog or some other online source as a way of discussion. 

I’m not talking about sitting around in a circle and crying over Mitch Albom’s latest. I’m talking about taking a book, that particularly encompasses higher level thinking, and discussing it. More than likely, it would be a book that is either written from a Christian worldview, or maybe even a book that attacks it.  I’m not really looking to bring in fiction. If you want to discuss that, you can go down to Borders on Tuesday night. 

If you’re interested, let me know. I’ve already got the first book in mind. 

I’m thinking that I will give the book title within the next week, and then allow about 10-14 days for people to pickup/order/borrow the book.

Oh btw, the “I would but I’ve got too much reading for school” excuse doesn’t work with this. I’ve seen how much time you spend on Facebook! :-)

Anyway, I think this would be a good way to help keep you and me focused on reading, and it would provide a great way for us to dissect reading and get more out of it than we ever could with a quick read-thru. 

Interested? Let me know!
