February...the list

It was super encouraging to see folks show up for the first club meeting of the new semester. We decided that instead of doing a single read for one month, we would have several selections to read. This way, you are waiting around forever for everyone to finish the book to have the discussion. In order to further help this dicussion process, this site will have additional nodes running to the books that we are reading for Feburary. I will probably have to change them for every month, but it will still give you an outlet to starting the conversation about what you have been reading.

If you are on this site but haven't gotten your permission slips yet, you will need to turn it in before you start the reading business. Dot the eye's and cross the tee's!

Everyone else!...here is the list for the month of Februrary! If you click on the title, it will take you to Amazon so you can preview the book/buy the book/think about it before acting...you get the picture right. Our next meeting is on February 9th so have atleast one of these read!

Welcome

Hey all!
This is your host Mr.P with an exciting new blogsite (one word?) that will help further the ends of the book club here at OHS. It the hope of many of my collegues and mine as well that we become a campus of readers. Don't get me wrong, I know that you guys read, I see it all the time. I suspect that several of you are "closet" readers, picking up a good book and not telling, sharing what good stories or writers that you have stumbled across. This site will be an anchor to what books the various groups are reading. More to develop in the following Month! For now, our next meeting will be on January 26th Tuesday at Lunch in Mr. P's room. Bring your lunch and your book list.
Mr.Perez
