Hello True Believers! Was wondering about the interest in starting one say in Jan. We could vote on a CBT novel and then discuss it in detail, one per month. Not in any specific order just by vote. What do you think?
***Please ignore the two "yes" buttons, or Mordel if you could please eliminate them?

I have a few novels, but not a lot. But I'd be happy to join in once in a while.

Count me in...nothing like a good "discussion" on written material and authors to make things interesting.

I'm game. I have most of the novels, and as long as someone e-mails me at my hotmail account to let me know what's going on, I'll even be able to participate when I'm overseas!

Kewl, excellent response so far. We'll kick it off then after the holidays. I'll submit a list of say 5 novels, we'll vote and go from there.

Start with Far Country. That's always a fun topic.  Or you could just start from the beginning of course and work your way from there.

Yeah I saw that, but his list is Chronological by publication, and I think that some of the books are "out of order" according to the time line. Each chapter in every book is dated. But maybe I'm just imagining things though that some books were "printed/written out of order"

I believe that his list is pretty chonologically accurate. As far as the timelines go. Some novels skip around a bit or cover more time than others, but his list (except for missing some novels at the end) seems well done.
Certainly some books were written out of chronogical order.
Then you have those Clan novels such as "I am Jade Falcon" and "Falcon Rising" which encapsulate the events of prior novels but from the clan point of view.

Well I stand corrected then. THanks for clarifying things up for me. Maybe we chould just read them in order then? But skip Sword and Dagger. I have never actually seen a hard copy of it. THe only copy of it I have seen was for sale on either E-Bay or Gamers-Union.
