Welcome to The "Recap Like a Champ" Society of Letters. Senior member "sharpsooner" has made his selection for our inaugural reading. We should consider what is the best way to get copies of the book to everyone. We've discussed ordering in bulk from Amazon or another used book site and having them delivered to the office. Please feel free to make a suggestion. It would probably be easiest to just give Bruce $$$ once we have a price and then each individual will be in charge of finding/buying the books for each month. (note, by "buying" I mean with the money of the people involved, not on the good faith that our members will reimburse).
Let me also say that I'm really looking forward to this. Now, I don't know if I'll be able to make it through one of Ron Anderson's "Anger from the Right" kind of books or Jaqua's "Dude, I Can't Feel my Legs Dude" selections, but I sincerely hope that everyone who expressed interest in this irrational exchange of rational ideas is able to participate.

is there some sort of timeline for each book? a couple of weeks? 3 days?
From the time everone has the book we thought three weeks should suffice. Two weeks of reading with one week of heavy-handed online debate and a possible roundtable in the third week. Also, if we're ordering them together, does anyone think $15 a piece is too much? Who doesn't love new book smell?
To better your Russian vocabulary, book in Russian is Книга. I'm not sure why the other languages are so much more important. But that's fine. It was probably left out unintentionally.
$15 is ok with me.
Hmm. I should have checked the blog first. Buying en masse didn't occur to me. I just ordered a copy all on my own. $2.66 used-good at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0891072926/ref=lp_g_2/102-4196676-7227327?ie=UTF8&qid=1181692120&sr=8-1) New book smell is fine and good, but sometimes you get lucky and get a used book that smells like talcum powder. Other times you don't, and you get one that smells like B.O.
