Kaseadillla’s Comments (group member since May 04, 2016)

Kaseadillla’s comments from the EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club group.

Welcome, Jacinta!!

Welcome, Gabi!!

I don't know how we would ever facilitate this, but can we have a viewing party?!??! Or maybe a group event - never done one of those. I'm so excited for this movie to come out

Hi Pooja, Nicole, Michaela, and Dorothy!!

Welcome, SJ and Heather!!

Welcome, Josh, Jumoke, and Mario!!

Welcome, Michiel!!!

Hello all! Starting up the monthly discussions for May 2018 book-of-the-month suggestions. This discussion is for the CLASSICS CATEGORY.

As a reminder, books that qualify for this category must have a publication date 1969 and before. If the book you wish to nominate was published in 1970 or after, please make your suggestion on the Modern Classics/Popular Reads thread.

Secondly, by request and vote, May will be an Internationally Themed month - Japan!
Please nominate a book written by a Japanese author and/or originally written in Japanese. A good place to start would be THIS LIST on Goodreads.
This is a guideline, not a hard and fast rule, but would be great if we can stick to it.

I'll start off by suggesting Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata.

I'll start off by suggesting 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami.

Hello all! Starting up the monthly discussions for May 2018 book-of-the-month suggestions. This discussion is for a brand new category called BOOKSHELF CATCH-UP.

This is a catch-up book club, after all. For this category, you can nominate any book that the group has previously read. For a list of books that the group has previously read and discussed, please see the bookshelf.

The following books are NOT eligible as we have reread them as a group within the last twelve months:
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

I'll start off by suggesting a group read that I personally missed - The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway.

Welcome, Sergio, Simeon, Claire, Alison, and FanghaoWang!

Welcome, Eric and Julia!!

I think the original idea was to read literature originally written in a language other than English.
The goal would be to read a book by a Japanese author or a book originally written in Japanese.
In general, I think we will do more "National Literature" themed months - we had a poll for the most popular categories and Japanese Lit won. Likely will do this again. Likely will do nonfiction again given the scope of the genre, but not this year.
Thanks for the summary too, Stephanie.

for those who are curious, made a few changes...
- each poll right now has 6-7 entires. Cut off at natural point, still counted by number of nominations/seconds.
- BOTM discussions will be open mid-month and for two weeks (aka until the end of the month).
- FYI there will be a theme next month - National Literature Japanese!!
