Many thanks, Xicanti.

I added them to the original post.
I'm trying to get them all in the same format.

Hey Clam, great idea - thanks for doing this. :)

Oct 14, 2007, 8:08pm (top)Message 5: clamairy

Thanks, are they working now? The text window for new posts broke up my links. LOL

Oct 14, 2007, 8:28pm (top)Message 6: JPB

Don't forget A Christmas Carol.

Oct 15, 2007, 2:38am (top)Message 10: Busifer

Maybe the list would be easier to read if you inserted some

Thanks Clam for doing this!

Oct 15, 2007, 7:23am (top)Message 11: clamairy

LOL, they're coming eventually Busifer. That's why the post said "This thread is a work in progress, so bear with me while I search and post these links...."

Oh, nice separator thingy! What's the code for that?

Oct 15, 2007, 7:27am (top)Message 12: Busifer

I guessed, but didn't know, so I mentioned them anyway :-)

makes the line.

Oct 15, 2007, 7:37am (top)Message 13: clamairy

Thanks!




The problem is that the search feature on LT is pretty lousy, to be honest. It doesn't give you the option to search in the subject/topic line only, which would make the whole thing a piece of cake. But we'll get there...

Oct 15, 2007, 7:41am (top)Message 14: Busifer

Yes, but the search on the forum/GD page at least limits the hits to threads here in this forum... I tried it and typing "American Gods" turned up the correct threads immediately :-)
You want help I could try to find the links to some of the discussions we had. If I post the links unedited you could copy-paste them?

Oct 15, 2007, 7:43am (top)Message 15: clamairy

That would be great, thanks! I tried typing "tigana and discussion" and up popped every thread with the word 'discussion' in it...

Other discussions. Not group reads, but...

The Lions of Al Rassan (in part assumes you've read it...)
http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.ph...

Oct 15, 2007, 8:06am (top)Message 24: clamairy

#22 - Good idea... I may add a link to the unoffiical discussions that were very popular, too. Like the Lions of Al Rassan thread you started, and the Mistborn trilogy threads..

Oct 15, 2007, 8:06am (top)Message 25: clamairy

Bwaa haa haa...
Great minds and all that.

Oct 15, 2007, 8:08am (top)Message 26: Busifer

Oct 15, 2007, 8:09am (top)Message 27: clamairy

Okay, I need to eat some breakfast. I'll come back in finish up in a wee bit. Thanks again, Busifer!

Oct 15, 2007, 8:15am (top)Message 28: Busifer

Do so, and I needed a break anyway ;-)
(right now I'm trying to make sense of an imaginary issue management system, hehe)

Edited to clarify: I needed to do something else for a while, searching for the threads was my "break" :-)

Understood!

*waits for egg to cook*

Oct 15, 2007, 8:32am (top)Message 30: reading_fox

Looks very good!

I've no recollection of suggesting anything, but I'll happily take the credit.

RE: searching - for specific books, all the conversations are linked off the work page There will still be a few to sift through for popular works, but far quicker than delving through all of talk.

Oct 15, 2007, 8:50am (top)Message 31: clamairy

#30 - I swear you left a comment on my profile about this... 6 months ago or longer. LOL Please don't make me un-archive my comments to look.

Oct 15, 2007, 9:22am (top)Message 32: JPB

Clam's edited that post a bunch of times. So, she deserves credit for adding to post count. This post helps.

What ever could you be talking about?

0:o)

Oct 15, 2007, 11:54am (top)Message 41: mrgrooism

One great thing about this thread is that we can now all STILL PARTICIPATE in these Group Reads after the fact!

Oct 15, 2007, 1:52pm (top)Message 42: clamairy

True!

These are the threads we don't want dying off, ever.

(As opposed to a particular thread.)

Oct 15, 2007, 2:04pm (top)Message 43: JPB

#42 She's talking about the thread where I put a diagram of under vs. over-handed toilet paper hanging.

I just know it! :(

possibly

Oct 15, 2007, 2:26pm (top)Message 45: JannyWurts

Oh, way cool! I can catch up with some of the other titles, at some point!

Was there ever a group read of Elantris?

Oct 15, 2007, 2:29pm (top)Message 46: readafew

45 > yes there was. It's the 3rd set in Clams posting.

Dec 28, 2007, 6:50pm (top)Message 47: Busifer

Not that I was able to participate but I thought the the following should be added to the list -

Book Discussion: The Golden Compass - Contains SPOILERS! Finish the book first!
http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.ph...

Thanks for this. I've got a $50 shopping spree at Powell's coming up in a month. I'm definitely going to see if I can find the group read books I haven't read yet and chime in.

Jan 16, 2008, 11:39am (top)Message 49: fleela

This is great stuff! I think the GD needs a wiki to track and cross-reference all these discussions.

Jan 16, 2008, 11:54am (top)Message 50: readafew

Well the Green dragon (user) can have a personal wiki article. That would be a great idea. Things like the birthday list, books read and such could be tracked there and everyone would have the ability to update it instead of one or 2 getting stuck with it.

Mar 1, 2008, 3:11pm (top)Message 51: clamairy

Okay, this has been updated.
Sorry it took me so long.

May 2, 2008, 9:33am (top)Message 52: Busifer

Maybe this should be added to the second, 'other books discussed', section?

I can't add them now because I'm using my laptop and I don't trust the 'mouse' on this.

*huggles Clam* Even if you're missing on this is a terrific list and took a lot of effort! You and all who found and posted links should be proud of yourselves!

*also bumps it up a little again*

I agree...this is a lot of work. Thank you, clamairy, as usual you take very good care of us.
