The Superherohype.com Book Club

[Matt]

Anyone interested in joining? I picked up a book today and it seems like an ideal start for a SHH Book Club. "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor" by Bruce Campbell. Anyone interested in forming an SHH book club that starts with this?

(First person to join picks our next book :o)

[Rando]

ill join! i love reading.

[Majic Walrus]

Hey that sounds pretty cool. I'll see about finding that book. :D

[Matt]

Huzzah! Three members already!

[Doomed Hero Rising]

yeah i'm in

[C. Lee]

It's a good book, I read it several years ago.

[Lighthouse]

I'll join.....if we can read some Lovecraft and Vonnegut at some point. So how exactly will the book club work. Do we have a designated date that we'll all have to have read the book by, and then we discuss it in this thread?

[AlteredEgo]

yeah ill try and join. sounds good. :up:

[Lighthouse]

It's a good book, I read it several years ago.

Haven't read it yet, but I flipped through it at a bookstore. I love the pictures of Bruce, Sam, and all the rest driving around in the Classic. Just a group of guys hanging out making cheapo movies.

[Pluto]

When I saw this thread I felt guilty that it's been TOO long since I've picked up a good book.
I'm addiced to mags.

Sure, I'll join. I love reading...besides, Bruce Campbell is awesome. :up:

That sounds like a plan. Also, when it comes to my turn to pick a book I think we'll get some Lovecraft or Vonnegut or some P.K. Dick.

[yenaled]

Bruce Campbell's autobiography is a damn good book :up:

[Edmund Blackadder]

Book club....get back to the 1900's you stinkin paper lovin fools :cmad:

[The Joker]

I already read that. I also read "Make Love: The Bruce Campbell Way!" which is hillarious as well. I'll join though, but I cant guarantee I'll actually read every book we do. I have a stack of books that goes up to my damn waist that I have to read right now. I'm trying to get through the James Bond series before the new movie comes out (I'm up to Diamonds Are Forever, the fourth one). But if something that sounds interesting comes up, I'll definetly give it a read and join in.

[November Rain]

Aren't bought/thought threads kinda like a more relatable book club for this site?

[amazingfantasy15]

I might join with the next book, not that I have anything against Bruce Campbell, just in the middle of Stephen King's It right now and want to finish that before starting another book.

[moraldeficiency]

I'm in, pretty cool idea Matt.

[tzarinna]

I'm in.

[LondonGirl]

I'd like to join, I love reading.

[Lighthouse]

I'm always up for reading some P.K. Dick. :up:

[Carcharodon]

This is an awesome idea, Matt. I don't think I'm gonna have enough time on my hands to participate any time soon, but it's really a neat idea. :up:

Good ****, man.

[Alex The Great]

Who let C.Lee out of the old folks home? :cmad:

[Figs]

I'm in for the book club.

[Mee]

I can't read, this thread is racist. :csad:

[Alex The Great]

If you can read, Why are you on these Forums? Reading is like, important Meeford.

You can't read either. :csad:



Twins!

[Alex The Great]

I'm the sexy twin :up:

[Lighthouse]

So Matt, whats the deal? When should we have the book read by, and when do we start the next one?

[tzarinna]

Okay, my county libraries don't carry this book but I found it on amazon used $2.38. I'm too lazy to trek to the next county over. Maybe the next time.

[DBella]

I'll have to check if my local library has the book. If they do, I'm in. After I am done reading the book I am currently reading.

[SuperMonkey]

what are we reading now? :confused:

Also, I reccomend Protect and Defend by Vince Flynn for the next selection.

Matt wants us to start with "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor" by Bruce Campbell.

[SuperMonkey]

Ah. I'll check the library. :)

[Lighthouse]

I'm really sad that this ended up going nowhere. I really would have liked a Hype Book Club. :(

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I'd join but I don't think they publish that Bruce Campbell book here in Australia, but it looks like this has gone down in flames :(

[The Battousai]

Reading good

[Sensi]

I am interested but I am not sure I will have time for every book.

[SuBe]

I'll only join, if we can FORCE everyone to read the FairTax Book!!!! :hehe:

[Kevin D. Comicboy]

I'd join, but i'm not reading any book by Bruce Campbell. I've no problem with him, just don't really care for him.

[raybia]

How about Tuesdays with Morrie or Life of Pi?

[JTHM777]

I am doing this after I finish reading my current book.

[SapphirePrima]

How about Tuesdays with Morrie or Life of Pi?


I hated Life of Pi. I had to read that last year in English.

[raybia]

Why did you hate it?

[SapphirePrima]

Why did you hate it?

I found the whole situation unbelieveable. I thought Pi was a wimp at that.

[raybia]

Maybe it wasn't meant to be taken literally.

[SapphirePrima]

Maybe it wasn't meant to be taken literally.

I know we had a question like that at the end of the book and the whole discussion if Pi was actually hallucination on some of the situations.

What I meant was for you the reader maybe the situation and the various animals were analogies and symbols pointing to a greater truth

Maybe I would of enjoyed the book more and got more out of it if I didn't have to read it over summer break and I read it on my own.

[Kevin D. Comicboy]

Why don't we list a few books and have a vote on it? We can go by the books' synopsis and go from there?

[Kmack]

^You've got the right idea:up:

[Matt]

Thanks to Lighthouse for bumping this. I forgot about it :csad:

I agree with Kevin's idea to vote.

[raybia]

Thats a great plan and I nominate Kevin to do it!

[Kevin D. Comicboy]

You would.:o

[ComicChick]

so now that we have our own section for this, would anyone mind if I start up an Official Hype Book Club Discussion Thread? can use it for suggesting titles and such for the upcoming year.
