Alas we have begun!

Sun Aug 21, 2005, 9:50 PM
YAY!!! BOTM is going to have a subscription in a short amount of time.

We are hoping to get more support from our fellow DAers. Don't forget if you are planning on joining and you place a watch on BOTM you will need to leave journals on, as this is the only way you will be able to find out when we will be holding discussions! Also, as an added "incentive/bonus", once you have watched BOTM you will be promoted to a demi-god or demi-goddess in #library! This gives you a bit more power in the chat WEEEEEEEEEEEEE! So add me... You know you wanna...

Tell all your friends about us and have them watch BOTM!

The more members we have, and the more interatcion we recieve, the more interesting we can make it for all of you!

September's book has been chosen!!!

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
A brief overview: [link]

It is suggested that you find all monthly books in the local library. Feel free to purchace them as they are going to be very good reads.

To all those wishing to join in!
1 we will set the book a week in advance to the first of the month

2 you will need to note ~BookOfTheMonth three days prior to the first of the month to let us know that you will be joining our discussions and reading along with us.

3 YOU MUST BE READING THE BOOK TO JOIN THE DISCUSSIONS.
A harsh thing to do but this is going to be a set thing from now on!
If you do not note ~BookOfTheMonth you will not be on the members list on those days of discussion and will therfore not be able to join.

WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT SOME BOOKS WE ARE GOING TO BE READING WILL BE RATHER EXPENSIVE TO PURCHASE. WE STRONGLY RECOMEND YOU CHECK THEM OUT IN YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. IF AVAILABILITY BECOMES A PROBLEM, WE WILL CHANGE THE BOOKS AS WE SEE FIT. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS.

Discussions will be held every Thursday(USA) between 11pm and 3 am (cst) in #Librarians

September discussions:

Thursday, September 1 - 11PM to 3AM (cst)
Thursday, September 8 - 11PM to 3AM (cst)
Thursday, September 15 - 11PM to 3AM (cst)
Thursday, September 22 - 11PM to 3AM (cst)
Thursday, September 29 - 11PM to 3AM (cst)

We will notify you on what pages to have read through by each discussion date within the next week.

If a problem with timing arises, compensations will be made to the best of our abilities.

For time zone calculations [link]


PLEASE BE AWARE THAT #LIBRARY WILL STILL BE AN OPEN ROOM FOR ANY DISCUSSIONS YOU WISH TO HOLD. #LIBRARIANS HAS BEEN CREATED AS A STAFF ROOM FOR THE STAFFERS AT #LIBRARY. IT WILL ONLY BE OPEN TO THOSE WISHING TO JOIN THE DISCUSSIONS OF THE READINGS THURSDAYS FROM 11pm TO 3 am (CST).



Thanks to all of those DAers who have answered our forums. We have looked into several of your suggestions and will be voting on them for months to come!:boogie:

Thank you!!!
More info to come!

I know that I speak for some people here when I say that access to a library is not readily available so I suggest that maybe for the book of the months you can make a choice of a book that can be found on the internet in the form of an eBook. One such eBook website I have found is [link] They have many books and classics such as The Time Machine and Robinson Crusoe.

the discussion time is not good for Americans who have to work every morning :(

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
:iconbookofthemonth:
That is very understandable, as I am one of those Americans. If you want to join us however, let me know when is best for you and we will se about setting up a few more discussion times. Don't forget! September starts Good Omens! We anticipate this will be a very good read for all of us.

Books free us. They take us to places we have never been.
Read one and see what you have been missing!
:iconalakite:
Thanks. I'll examine my schedule and see where I can fit it in :)

Is the chat #Library, or #Librarians? :confused:

#library is the chat that will be open for everyone, whereas #librarians is our staff room, and the room that will be hosting BOTM every month:)

I shall help....
