At our next BookClub meeting on Sunday April 13, I will propose this idea - to use TheBookClubBlog to share the books, magazine & journal articles, and whatever else we're reading or seeing (films, plays, performances, concerts, ...). It might serve a variety of valuable services: 1. an ongoing 'nomination list' 2. a continuing discussion of some of our books already read, but not exhaustively discussed or about which we have some continuing ideas 3. an ongoing sharing of each of our members' wide interests beyond the tip of the iceberg we get to share at our book discussions.
Please add your thinking on this proposal.

For example, two excellent discussions on The Echo Maker, with Powers' comments included, are at:
http://www.edrants.com/echo-maker-roundtable-1/
This is a five-part roundtable discussion of Richard Powers’ The Echo Maker with the fifth part being Powers' own comments.
The second discussion is at http://www.believermag.com/issues/200702/?read=interview_powers
in which Powers says a lot about his compositional intentions.
Enjoy.
Fred Good and I are looking at this entry and talking about it.
