Book Club in 2007 (for real)

OK, so I figured that maybe the best way to do discussions for the book club would be in a group blog format, that way our inboxes won't get all crowded and you can read them/add comments whenever you want. Several books have already been suggested, and I'd actually like to add "I Am Charlotte Simmons" by Tom Wolfe to the list (not terribly intellectual, but great fodder for discussions/reminiscing about college, morality, etc). It's somewhat long, but a very easy read. So anyway, I would suggest starting this endeavor by everyone who has a suggestion for a book posting their suggestion and we will pick one on January 14 - in order to read by the end of January (I think 2 weeks is a reasonable amount of time) and then begin discussing in February. BUT I'd also like to solicit recommendations for how to run this thing - as I have no more experience/authority than anyone else with book clubs, any contradictory suggestions on how to run said book club would also be greatly appreciated. I just wanted to offer a starting point. Hope everyone had a very happy New Year! And for goodness sakes, let's get our noses back into the books in 2007!
