Our first Mudflats Book Club!!!

By popular demand, we're starting with the book "3 Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson.  Amazon has the book in stock for $9.00, and clicking on the link to purchase the book will credit AKM's Amazon account.

To give everyone time to either purchase the book, or to find it at the library, we'll set 11/23 as the starting date for everyone to begin reading the book.

This is the process we'll trial:

During the week, feel free to come to this thread to post comments and/or questions.  We'll also set up live chats to discuss the book as we go.  Times and dates for the chats will be posted here as well.

Please send me a Personal Message if you have any questions or suggestions!

I just purchased my book this morning. Count me in.

[Deep Blue]

I'm in for the book club! My in-person book club just read this book, so it's great timing for me.

Fantastic book! I wish I could lend my copy to someone - I guess that's one drawback of the virtual book club!

 I don't think I can "read" the book by the date - I need audio books, which are expensive, so I'm on the wait list at the library.  But I have done a google search and have several sites where I can read about it and gain some general information.
  Is that good enough?

[Palmdale, CA aka Gini]

I've read it but count me in.  Would love to discuss it with like-minded folk... my copy's out "on loan," but I'll try to get it back in time.

[LJP aka Revolver Trooper]

I just looked at the book yesterday in Borders--this may be the summer reading book at the college where I teach, so I will be ahead...count me in.

[Suchanut]

I'm in Icy...ordering book today.

[clip dragon palin]

I am all over it.

[snowflake]

I've ordered the book.

I don't know if I'll say much, but I'll be following the discussion.

[S_in_CA]

The book sounds really good.  If I can discipline myself to read it in time, I'm in. 

BTW, for those who need/want audio books, iTunes has this book available for $13.  Libraries are free, of course -- just giving another option.

[Husky in Florida]

A relative gave me this book over the summer and it's been just sitting here. Count me in!

[À_Normandie]

I'm in!! I'm ordering the book right now.  It will take forever through the library system since there are 30 holds on it.

Cant do it until after the holidays...just too busy

but is it 3 cups of tea one man's mission to fight terroism...or one man's mission to promote peace

looked them up on half.com and it came back with both of these by the same author...want to read it, but cannot do club until Jan....

[Deep Blue]

Well, my copy of the book has "promote peace" in the title, but I know there was a different title originally. And he's definitely building schools as a way to fight terrrorism. I bet it's the same book.

[judi]

I looked at both of the descriptions...I think you are right...

you can get them cheap on half.com or ebay...around $6.00 for used copies...

[Deep Blue]

Or if you buy the book through the website www.threecupsoftea.com then 7% of the proceeds go to a girls' education scholarship fund in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
