h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I want to join too. Unfortunately I will have to lurk (but that's okay as I'm a member of the Unofficial Lurker's Society) for a bit as I'm going to school (as well as working full time) and the term is coming to an end very soon. Pant...pant....having a hard time keeping up as it is! But I will keep checking back for the new book.

G'day and Namaste,
Reika

Is this still going or has it died a death? Would love to join if poss

Has no one said welcome to you yet? Shame! Shame! Shame!
A very big welcome to you from a fellow Geordie – are you Geordie born and bred or just here for the University? I’m sure you’ve experienced the famous Geordie welcome by now but welcome again on line
Jazz

erm ....

Good afternoon.

I came across this section of the guide almost by use of the ultimate improbability drive.

I'm puzzled. Please forgive me. Is there a book under study at present? There have been several suggestions but I have not found much evidence of anyone recently reading or at least commenting on a recently read book. I may not have found the relevant section.

I haven't been in a book group before (well not since home readers like Dickens in the 60s for Higher English). What does one do? (well I get the bit about reading ) Has anyone commented? I never could get the hang of precis or character assessment. Perhaps someone could guide me?

Hi jazzme

Thank you for the pointer.

I've looked round the page and the postings and I'm not much wiser alas

Being a bear of very little brain

They are still on the February book. You can find the discussion here; A688340

Hi Jazz,

somehow got unsubscribed from this conversation and had trouble finding it again! I'll get used to it all eventually

Did live in newcastle when younger but then moved away, now I am back...hooray!! Bought flat so am here to stay now.

Thanks for the welcome...spotted that you seem to be on No Logo at the moment - off to get a copy asap.

Missy

Feel free to join in on "No Logo" which we're still reading and digesting (very slowly) http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A705386

Quite a few of us are joining in on the Salonista's discussion of "Last Chance to See" which isn't technically on the book group syllabus but might as well be (how about adding a link on the front page Andy?)

Thanks Alji - I'll lurk

Actually we're on No LOgo by Naiomi Klien http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A705386

Hello - I'd like to join please, but as a lurker for the time being...

Sorry folks I'm going to be off line for 3 weeks - going off to Bonnie Scotland in my caravan - keep the thread alive till I come back

Jazz

Did this thread break or something? Just back from a wet holiday in Scotland - but at least I finished reading No Logo

For those not familiar with Book groups, see the Comedy series. Oh and putting your finger under the words and mouthing them is allowed, but only between consenting lifeforms.

I think we may have bitten off more than we can chew with no logo - as it seems we've all finished it at different times and no one commented as they went along much - but that's not to say we can't start chatting now...
