...you might be interested in joining me and some other geeks here.

BetterwithPictures.com is a brand new comic club - which is basically the group calling out/voting on a graphic novel/TPB to read, all of us reading it, and everyone discussing. Like a book club, only 1,000 times nerdier (and 10,000 times more interesting).

It's free to join and the members we have so far are pretty cool. Figured some of you may be interested in joining us (it's free to join - just a group of comic fans putting it together in their free time). Just sign up on their forums and - bam! - your in.

This sounds like fun, but seeing as how I'm living on minimum wage, I'm not sure I would be able to afford that many graphic novels.

Done and done! If there are two things I love they are comics and laboriously pontificating about comics.

Punk - That's the beauty of this - the gang has already thought of that and the majority of the picks are going to be older books - things one could easily find in the library.

And given that you'll have around a month to read em, that should be plenty of time to get your hands on a copy, even if you have to wait a few weeks if its checked-out.

(Of course, in this digital age there are other ways to find this stuff for free...but I neither partake in nor condone that route. That said, I do nothing to stop it and I don't think less of anyone for doing it occasionally [blind] )

What kind of rhetorical thread title is this?

I'm going to go post a "If you like beautiful women..." thread.

Good point!

Seriously though - let me know when you start an "I like beautiful women" club. I will join. We can pick one woman a month and discuss her in detail.

Just...please don't tell Mrs. The Dwarf.

Man, that sounds really awesome. I don't know if I'll have time to participate, the boy keeps me hopping; I haven't played VS since he was born! I'll see if I can get over there.

I don't know if I'd be into a graphic novel of the month club, but do let me know about that beautiful woman of the month club.

I was going to add a sly comment, but I'll keep it G. [blush]
