Yet Another New Idea
I have an idea, and thought I'd run it by everyone here.
You know The Library thread on Inkspiller? Well, seeing as we are all often discussing the books we have read, this quote came to mind, although I have forgotten who said it: "Good reading makes for good writing." I was thinking: maybe we could do something where one of us chooses a book, and posts its title and author in The Library Thread. Then, ALL of the Inkies members has to read it- get it from the library, buy it, borrow it from a friend, whichever. There would be a certain time frame for us to finish it. Maybe a month? I mean, normally I can read a book in just a few days, but seeing as we are all so busy at this point, I thought more time would be good. Then, when the time limit was up, we could discuss it in the thread. What we liked, we didn't like, (if anything) what we got from it, what we saw in it.
I mean, hey. This should encourage good reading.....therefore.....good writing....which stems from more writing......so..... *sheepish grin*
What do y'all think?
Or am I just insane.
