First. a tip of the hat to
@fredzilla for suggesting that Book of the Month Club discussions should have a category of their own.
The idea for this section of the forums is give listeners a place to discuss the upcoming CGS BOMC selections, and give the guys an easy place to find those discussions when it is time to record the episode. This is also a place to discuss those episodes, as well as to recommend some BOMC classics
from the archives that newer listeners might not have heard yet (feel free to find one in the archives and start a new thread for it); or to
recommend books that you think would make for BOMC selections in the future.The talkback discussions for new and recent BOMC episodes will remain in the CGS Episodes & Spin-Offs category, alongside the other numbered episode discussions.
Comments
Not to quibble, but I think maybe it was @Pants' idea. Let me check.
So should we post which BOMC we would like the geeks to discuss in the future here, or discuss the ones that have already been announced? I noticed some other threads that you've created already for the upcoming Infinity Gauntlet and Sex Criminals BOMC discussions.
To be clear (because we wouldn't want someone be thanked without clarification!) @fredzilla took the initiative to reach out to me about @Pants saying, on the show and in the forums, that it would be good to have threads in advance of the recording, the way we used to way back when. @fredzilla also had a persuasive argument for why it should be a separate category, so that it would be more highlighted and easier to find. So, a tip of the hat to him, for reaching out to me about this to get it going, and for helping to plan where to put it, and what should be there.
Regarding suggestions of future BOMC selections, there is a thread that got moved here already doing that. Whenever a new BOMC selection is announced, anyone is welcome to make a new thread for it and get the discussion started.
Thanks @fredzilla! May I suggest you amalgamate this thread from @shaneb with this new one you've created?
