OK, it might just be TOO crazy, but what I'm envisioning here is an online book club, sort of like when, in the late 90s, there were e-stores and e-massage parlors and e-everythings. It'll be just like that, except I won't raise and then squander millions of dollars in seed money (unless someone happens to have that lying around, in which case I will gladly accept it and almost certainly squander it).
I thought it would be appropriate, then, for our first book to be available through Project Gutenberg, an online collaborative effort to preserve all of human knowledge, or at least that part of human knowledge that currently exists in book form, in electronic format for people's use all over the internets. So, go here and download the text to Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis, which will be our first book! And it's free, so no excuses about not having 75 cents to go down and pick it up from the thousands of used copies available at your local college type used bookstore.
I'll be posting my thoughts on the monthly tome on the last Saturday of every month, and then announcing the next book on the first. So, curl up by the e-fire with our good friend K, and have your comments ready!

O.K. I's ready for some commentatoring on the book. Please, tell me what it's all about, Mr. Spencer!
