MR Book Club

[Henrye]

Leslie, thank you for taking on this job. I'm reordering Fenner today with my dog's credit card (serves him right, but he's still on the line for the rest of the $ thousands of my stuff he "adopted" as his own).

I like the idea of rotating starters for each chapter. Leslie is being kind enough to act as our personal lightning rod in getting this moving, so we all need to devote some time and effort into making this run smoothly.

Jon, for the sake of organization of the threads, can there be a forum for book club posts so we can keep books & chapters in one place?

Thanks for spearheading the Leslie, looking forward...
A dedicated forum is not a bad idea.

 

[jhale]

I'll have to check on the forum. this all happened pretty fast.

 

[Henrye]

Jon, reefers always move fast! That's why we're always getting in trouble ( cycle? what cycle? the keys for the bike are on the hall table), and we need to read and understand how to go fast, without getting in trouble:biggrin:

OK, I have the book already so I was reading the forword and the intro. There are some good possible discussion topics in them so I will be starting the first thread with the Intro and Forword. Everone, please start there

 

[KathyC]

Count me in Leslie! I already have the book.

 

[jhale]

how many people need to buy the book?
I do.

 

[Domboski]

I do.

I have Amazon Prime (free 2 day shipping) if anyone wants me to order it for them. Pickup would be in Park Slope or the Upper East Side, cash or paypal prior to ordering.

 

[Henrye]

Eric, I wish I caught your thread earlier. I just ordered from BN, but they're offering a special free 2-3 day expedited shipping now. I'm not sure which site had the lower price. BN, though, does collect NY sales tax.

I also need the book. Digitalreefer, where on the upper east side are you located? I go to school at Hunter College, you anywhere near there?

I've submitted the necessary paper work and permits for a new book club forum :Blurp:
we'll see what happens.

Bad news! As per Amazon:
Note: This item is not immediately available to ship. (Usually ships within 4 to 6 weeks.)

If you've already ordered from Amazon, you may want to check ship times!

 

[Gisela]

Hi Leslie. Can you recommend any books or guides on reefing that has both corals and fish? Lots of pictures would be helpful. Thank you.

 

[Henrye]

BN.com has has it is in stock and my order is packed for shipment tomorrow. They're giving free expedited shipping on any order over $25. It is an alternative source, given Amazon's shipping time, or if you can't find it locally.

I just place my order with Amazon and they said between 3/6 & 3/9. Also repeated it in the confirmation email.
