BBC




Welcome to the BBC.
No, not that BBC >_>
This BBC is the

Backwards Book Chart




What is the point of anything?
Well, that I don't know, but the point of BBC is for you to make a list or a chart of the books/writings you've read - in a backwards order, starting with the most recent one, ending with... well, how long your memory reaches.

No, it doesn't have to be accurate or in an orderly fashion, we won't come hunting if you don't put the books in a chronological order. Just make a list of things you read, with the current/latest one on top. You can put your comments about them, link to other members' writings here in the'Co or outside writings. You can put graphics (remember the UAR), use and abuse the html tags, make the page as you as you want to. Run free.

This chart helps in the following ways:
-people can start a conversation with you about the book you've just read (but if you haven't finished the book, do mention that on your list or you'll get spoilers! :O)
-writers can check your book-list and ask you to have a look at their work if they think it is sort of similar genre or style with a book you've read and liked.
-you can pick things out from other people's list that they've really liked... Recommendations and things.
-you can also see what they've read that affected their writing, so if you liked what they wrote, you'll probably find something that they read you'll like.


Charted Waters:

The deep uncharted waters
---> ABC

What better chance to have amazing, in-depth discussions about literature than in a wiki of obsessive-compulsive readers? Hence a formation of The Book Group. Since I've had the pleasure of attending amazing book group meetings in my life, I will use those experiences to build these online book groups.

The format:
There will be a general-ish topic which can be interpretted in many ways and is probably expressed in several pieces of literature. The participants (i.e. you) will choose a book you have read/are reading/will read, which you think has passages that fit the topic. During the discussion, everyone will have the chance to quote a passage from their book, which will be discussed by the group, the meaning considered and random thoughts inspired by it shared (you are encouraged to have coffee and bisquits handy, because this is the amazingly fun part of the meeting). We might even stumble across the meaning of life during these meetings.

Since not all of us are that English, you'll need to have either an English source for your quotations (you can read the translated version, that's no problem - http://www.literaturepage.com/read/ has a fairly large number of books online, from which you may be able to find your passage), or you'll need to be fairly good at translating.

Suggestions about topics are welcome. <diary:790>

I'm thinking these discussions should be had in the forums. The wiki could get quite bizarre... There will be a wiki to start with (everyone can introduce themselves and their book) and then when the discussion is through, it can be sorted clearly into the wiki for future generations to awe at.

2006-04-01 [Kiddalee]: What was the other BBC?

2006-04-02 [iippo]: British Broadcasting Company... So BBC1 and BBC2 are two major channels in British TV, and generally BBC news and dramas and all is like top-quality television... And they have radio stations too... So massive broadcasting thing that speads its products all over the world.

2006-04-03 [Kiddalee]: Aah, yes. I should have known that, but I rarely watch TV.

2006-04-03 [SilverFire]: *haunts*

2006-04-03 [iippo]: *expects Silvie to make a BBC*

2006-04-03 [Ally]: Hmm I don't remember which books I read when... and it has been a while since I read one...

2006-04-03 [iippo]: *expects Ally to make a BBC* :P I won't kill you if you don't remember everything... Or anything >_>

2006-04-04 [SilverFire]: *has a written one, of sorts*

2006-04-05 [Kiddalee]: I have a recently started list, but don't care to review everything on it.

2006-04-05 [iippo]: *demands links*

2006-04-05 [SilverFire]: It's... um... in the real world. X_x

2006-04-06 [iippo]: Well with ET brokered and holiday starting you have plenty of time to type it in :P

2006-04-09 [iippo]: *squees with excitement about the book group idea* Now... We need a nifty abbreviation for the book group (something that means something already please :P I'd make it ITV to keep with the 'British TV channels' -theme, but it doesn't really fit)

2006-04-10 [Kiddalee]: Maybe use a TV channel from elsewhere in Europe?
