Christy, being the wonderful person she is has found a wonderful site that e-mails books to you in installments every day. Many of these books are even free! (and we being the cheep-os that we are only look at those ones) We've decided to start reading Anne of Green Gables. (Though Christy will probably end up reading about 10 books at once...j/k) Feel free to join us in our hunt for entertainment! The site is:
DailyLit
We're going to have some nice discussions! Hope you'll join us! Or even find some use from it on your own time!

Count me IN! Be there or be square! ;)
Sooo fun! I just read the first installment I recieved! I forgot how much I love Anne of Green Gables. We should watch the movie when we are done.
How do you want to do it -- do you want to read a chapter today and discuss about it tomorrow or do you want to read a chapter today and discuss it today? Jennie and I have chapter 1 -- do you?
Chiemi that is a GREAT idea. With popcorn and chocolate.
I think we should read today and discuss tomorrow. Gives me time to get around to reading it.
Mmm...Chocolate. ^_^
Question, is one installment one chapter or part of a chapter?
Oh yes, chocolate and popcorn please!
One installment is one email -- right? I thought each email was one chapter. I could be wrong.
I don't know, but it said there were 120 installments, and I really don't think there are 120 chapters in Anne of green gables. That's why I was asking.
Have any of you tried Dale and Thomas popcorn before? It's sooo yummy. It's fresh and covered in divine toppings.
Oh right. I don't know then. Well we'll discuss one email. Okay the suggestion has been made the we also read Sense and Sensibility -- do you think we should read them simultaneously or wait until we finish AoGG? Then we can have a Sense and Sensibility movie day too. Thoughts?
Let's read that one second. I like the movie night idea.
I just got the first email. It is short! Can we read ahead or is it only one a day?
Well I am now reading -- and you thought Jennie was kidding -- Beatrix Potter, Anna Karenina, Famous Stories Every Child Should Know and Anne of Green Gables. You may read any or all of those with me -- Anna Karenina is 430 installments -- we could read ahead on that one. LOL
The leaders have concluded that you will be allowed to read 1 chapter per day (however many installments that comes to).
Let's read more a day. The first installment is short. Maybe 5 a day? It took me no time at all to read the first one.
I love sense and sensibility. Let's read that second!
Okay! Sounds good!
oh, that's right. I forgot you were reading so many books! haha! One a day is fine. If I find that I want to read more, I'll read a different one on my own.
I had forgotten how much I love this book. It's like sitting down with an old friend with whom you are very comfortable.
No, we're reading one chapter a day. I don't know how many installments that is today but don't forget to read clear up and until chapter two so we can discuss about it tomorrow.
In case anyone is interested 1 chapter seems to be 3 installments, and you can get 4 sent to you at once. You go to your subscription and go to advance and pick the longest email setting.
This is such a good book. It's been so long since I last read it! I can't wait to discuss it.
