So I’ve got a wiki up for the book club. For some good info on what a wiki is, why we’re using it, etc., check out Oddmuse.

This is the wiki engine we’re using.

I was talking with my most excellent friend Mark last night, just catching up and what not, when our conversation turned to books. He mentioned that he was almost finished with Snow Crash and was looking for something else to read. I told him that I hadn’t read anything worth recommending in recent months.

Upon lamenting this sad state of affairs, the M&M Book Club was born (until we find a better name, M&M is it).

Since I’m in lovely TX and Mark is in God-forsaken CA, we’re gonna do this remote style. Maybe a Wiki is called for…

So we’ll need a book to start with. I’m thinking maybe one of these:

• Books I’ve always wanted to read:
  • On the Road by Jack Kerouac.
  • The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. I hear Foucault’s Pendulum is good as well.
  • War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.
  • Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
  • Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
  • Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
• Religious books I’ve always meant to read:
  • Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton.
  • The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis.
