Teresa Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi Guys, We started a really interesting conversation in another thread that has me wanting to learn more about whether (and how) fish and inverts "feel" pain. ClarkiiCircus mentioned they might be able to recommend a good book, and I'm sure others know of ones as well. I think it would be really fun to have a book of the term club (i.e. spring, summer, fall, winter). This would allow most of us to read at our own pace, but also keep our learning moving throughout the course of the year. I think it would be awesome to have a discussion thread on the book. It would also be a cool topic of conversation at our monthly meetings, an ice breaker of sorts to get to know more people and expand all of our thinking. I saw some interest in this idea, so I thought I'd pose the following questions here: Who else is in? What titles might we be interested in reading? When and how do we decide what to read? One thought I already have is to host a vote at the January meeting. The majority can determine which book we read. Could we arrange a group buy for a book, or just buy individually? What other thoughts or considerations do you have? I'm a big nerd, so I can't lie. I'm getting kind of excited about this idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkiiCircus Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think this is an AMAZING idea! I think we could all really benefit from reading about the oceans and reefs, propagation techniques, etc. outside of our own experiences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'm definitely in! Been reading as much as I can for 25 years and still feel like I'm behind. And getting other peoples perspectives and insights is always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think it's a great idea as well! I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+etannert Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'd like to do it... my follow-through is a little suspect given my work schedule... but I'll certainly try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
