Alright, White Chalice. There's quite a bit of people who like books and reading here, are there not? I hope there are, otherwise all this effort went for nothing.
Ahem, anyway. Me and Laura (Ericks) are starting the White Chalice Book Club. The idea is simple - an organization that will help its members seek out titles that interest them and lend them to each other. Basically, it works like this: You sign up as a member, and get access to the database. Here, you can add and remove books that you have available and can borrow to other people, and can browse the catalogue to see what other people have to offer. If someone has something that interests you and is not lent currently, then just go to them in person and borrow the thing.
Easy, huh? This way all interested people will have better access to stuff they're interested in - novels, comic books, manga, technical manuals, doesn't matter, you can use the club for all of this stuff. No need to ask every random person on the ship do they have the collected works of Shakespeare (or whatever else you want to read) anymore! So, you know, sign up. The database is set up now, and the club's open to everyone, even if you don't have any books to lend and just want to borrow them from otherslike a parasite. Got any questions, ask me or Laura.
PS. Avid readers treat books with respect. Try to return everything in the same state you borrowed it. Or else.
[Even if you don't want to talk but still sign up, feel free to tag with that and possibly write what books you add to the catalogue. Werter's there already, with a decent choice of novels and manga. He keeps the adult stuff to himself though.]
