What's going on here?

It's a new year, and my personal reading accomplishments in 2013 were pretty weak.  According to my LibraryThing, I managed to check off a paltry 13 books from my reading stack.  Of those 13, 4 were Stephanie Meyers' Twilight, 2 were Harry Potter novels, and the remainder were similarly themed speculative fiction.

Now, that's not to say I didn't read other things... I did, just not complete books that I could check off.  What I thought might be interesting, and potentially motivating, is to start up a book club with a few friends.

So here it is.  I'll put it to a vote in February, but I'm tentatively thinking of calling this book club "One Hundred Pages Per Week".  I can read critically at about the rate of 50 pages an hour, and am asking my friends for a commitment around 2 hours a week, thus 100 pages a week.

We'll be reading "The Once and Future King" by T. H. White as our first book.  The edition I have runs 650 pages, so that's a 7-week read.  I've added a page to the blog where our current selection, start date, meeting date/time/place, and other info can be found.

I've surfed a few other book club how-to websites, so I know we need some procedures for things.  I've added a page to the blog where my initial thoughts on procedures can be found.
