A Wordballoon Book Club? Your Thoughts

[Mikie]

I'd be down to post comments and join the book club fun. I listen to a few podcasts here and there, but I listen to every single wordballoon so this would be my first exposure to a comics-related book of the month. And I'm sure whoever John brought into this would be a good fit. Here's hoping for co-host drunken Orson Wells, LOL.

I freakin' love that idea!

Hey folks,

Visited DCBS In Stock Trades store, ad was kicking around the idea of starting a WB book club.

Unlike the other podcasts doing it, I was thinking about having only 1 or maybe 2 other hosts, but leaning more on the message board to provide comments on the books, and suggest titles as well.

If I did it, DCBS would offer the book of the month at an even higher discount , than their usual 40% off.

Further, I'd ;ike to look at not only comic stories, but also books about comics, like Geoff Klock's book" how to read comics" , or the recent Alex Raymond bio, etc.

What would you folks think? Are there enough of these BOM's out there or would this be something you'd like to hear, on a monthly basis?

When are you starting?

not really related to comic books, but comic strips is David Michaelis' bio of Charles Schulz: "Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography". I thought that was an interesting read.

after I read "Kirby: King of Comics" (fantastic, but you don't need me to tell you that), I read "Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko". not as thorough, but given the subject, I think it's as good as we are going to get about Ditko.

you probably already read those John, but I thought I would suggest them anyway.

Interesting choices .

Are you going to be posting when you are starting on your social networking pages?

Don't get a chance to visit this site all that often. I am very interested in this.
