Utterly flummoxed at the prospect of joining your local Finest Things Club Magick Potion Apothecary and Candle Shoppe? Nonplussed by all the rules? Please consult the Finest Things Club Manifesto for a simple breakdown of the workings of the Club:
Step 1. Sign up for Blogger. You’ll get an invitation. Pick a display name. Literary-themed names (such as author or character names) are encouraged.
Step 2. Post a list of three books you’d like the club to read. These books will go into the hat, to be picked if fate smiles upon them.
Step 3. Books are picked! We will pick until we have a lineup of six books.
Step 3a. Veto Lightning Round. If you wholeheartedly object to a book that’s been picked, you have one veto that will take that book out. You only have one veto per six book cycle, so choose wisely. We’ll keep picking until we have six books that no one vetoes.
Step 4. Read the damn book. You’ll have a month to finish it.
Step 5. Post about the book. It’s just like Blackboard, only that annoying girl from your film class who overpronounces all the French words like “macabre” won’t be there!
Step 5a. We'd like this club to be multi-media. If you are aware of any visual aids that will advance the club members' enjoyment of a work, please post them. These may be reproductions of paintings having to do with the work's subject, photographs of locations from the work, artworks dealing with the theme or mood of the work, photographs of yourself in appropriate period costume, etc. Costumes are STRONGLY encouraged.
