    STOP WHAT YOU'RE READING!

    ...and join the MC holiday book club bonanza, sponsored by Benny and KF. Plenty of time to read over a boring-ass holiday like Christmas so there should be no excuses. Let me know if you're in and the name I randomly pick will choose a book for all us nerds to read and review.

    Yeah, I'm in. I have no interest in reading the book my book club chose for December.

    You offer a nice example of how vulgar and snobby internet etiquette exudes bad character. In regards to the club, I'll give it a go.

    Spring Breakers (Korine, 2012)

    Could we do a "for your consideration" campaign for books? To see what interests people?

    I think whoever gets randomly selected should post a couple suggestions, just to get a feel for what interests most people and to make sure most if not all haven't read it yet.

    Winston was the pick. I don't want this to be too democratic so I am having him send me a PM with his choice. If one or two people have already read it or don't want to, that's fine, no need to participate this round. I don't think we'll be able to reach a consensus among 14 people. Anyone who follows the BDT should be able to figure out what lots of people have read and their likes.
