Boundary Waters: The Grace of the Wild by Paul Gruchow The customer reviews are pretty old but very positive. It's non-fiction, essays about the BW. Boundary Waters by William Kent Krueger is fiction about an ex-cop tracking a disappeared girl in the BW. I'll read anything chosen but I think it might be nice to make our first book one about the Boundary Waters. The other books mentioned sound good too. |

I picked up up "Into the Wild" in the Boston airport yesterday and read it on the flight home. It is not a boundary waters book but has been suggested by others, is a quick read, is a best seller and has been recently made into a movie. Shall I start a new thread for reading it? Anyone else have a better idea? Dan |

Thanks for getting this moving! Maybe someone else can start a thread on future books to read and we can get a list going of ideas. I need to dig out my copy. I think it has been at leat 8 years since I have read this. Good book. I look forward seeing the movie after I re-read the book. - Adam |

I also switched this group over to be self registration and to be publically viewable. Let me know if you don't feel this is appropriate either here or via email. |

I think the changes you made are great; maybe it will encourage more people to join. I started another thread for "Into the Wild". The chapters are very short so I thought we'd start with the first five chapters. I have no experience with an "online book club" so if anyone has other suggestions on how to proceed, I am all ears.

One idea is first agree on the book to read, then set up a calendar or weekly time on when we will have a conversation about certain chapters and parts of the book. Give everyone a few days to enter into the conversation before moving onto the next section. We can then have separate threads started for each section we are discussing. After the entire book has been reviewed we can give final thoughts and recommendations or not. Looking forward to this. |

If this is only concerning the BWCA I'll have to think of a book. I'm open to other books. Chuck |
