I posted about a poly bookclub online a while back, and now I am giving the first book club assignment.  The problem is that I don't think Shelfari emails everyone when new posts are made, so I'm making a post here for two reasons:  1) to notify anyone here who is a member what the assignment is and 2) to alert anyone else who doesn't know about the book club that we are here and how to find us.  If you want to join the poly book club, visit http://www.shelfari.com/groups/12041/about.  

Here's the assignment, as posted on the Shelfari Polyamory Book Club discussion page:

With the holidays coming up, I didn't want to give an assignment to read a book because I figured we'd all be too broke to buy any and too busy to read.  So, for our first assignment, I charge us all with adding a poly-themed book to our wishlists (or however you indicate to your friends and family that you want something for a holiday gift).  Then, after the New Year, come back here and tell us all what you got and what you thought of it.

I recommend using http://www.thethingsiwant.com to create online wishlists.  You install this little button on your webbrowser, then anytime you see something online that you want, just click the button and it adds it to your wishlist.  Then you give out your wishlist to your family and friends.  You can create more than one list and you can add various level of permissions, in case you have a wishlist that you only want certain people to see and not others.  It's also great for families to create their own list under one account.

So, browse through the poly bookshelf, find a book you want to read, then ask for it for the holidays.  If you do not celebrate this season with gift-exchange and/or you don't want anyone to know about your interest in polyamory, then your assigment is to go to the library and check out one of these books.

Post which book you received by January 5th, even if you have not read it yet.  Go back to your post by January 15th and tell us what you think of that book.  Starting in February, I will begin handing out assignments for specific books.
