carried over from the Current book thread, I just started a QBN group on Shelfari.
Sign-up (takes all of 20 seconds) and lets do a book of the month type of thing. Should be fun!
Who's with me (us)?

nice initiative, but I'm not gonna join in. Though I'm an avid reade, I can't really understand the idea of bookclubs. reading is a solitary experience if you ask me.
good luck though

Anyone ever read anything by Ian Rankin? It's all the rage with some of my friends, apparently its a series of crime fiction, tartan noir stuff. Anyhow, seems like a good place to start, interested?

To my knowledge there's many perfect books as criminal fiction goes (we call it "policiais" around here - literally, "police"-"ers"). One of my favourites is a book by S.S. Van Dine, called "The Bishop Murder Case" from the fifty-sixties, I think that's the original. Or something similar. It's well worth reading because it's not just a detective story; it is also about chess.

@ Corvo2... Cool, yeah I'm into whatever. I've never really been "into" crime fiction per se. I've just heard good things about this Rankin character.
If you think The Bishop Murder Case is a better place to start for our first "group" book, then I'm cool with that. However, wouldn't you rather read something you haven't already read?- I would.But how does it work? I guess one book just leads to another?Corvo2
