Book Club for 8/1/05, A Rainbow of Gangs by James Vigil
get book: https://amzn.to/2MSPj1W
I am starting a book club on the site. The way it works, is that every month we agree on a certain book to read, and for those that are interested in reading can join the club.
During that month we will read the book, start a string on that book, discuss the book while we are reading it, and debate about the book if need be. It will begin on August 1, 2005.
I am open to reading anything on urban culture, it can be a gang book, a hip hop book, autobiographies, mafia books, etc.
So for those who want to join the book club, i want to hear from people and want to hear what book that you have not read but want to read. If there is a consensus on the a book between now and Aug 1, then we will start with that book. If not, I will pick the first book.

cool, the book has 11 chapters. We will try to read it at this pace.Anesis wrote:The book is being held for me at the library thanks to inter-library loan.
Week one = Chapters 1, 2, 3
Week two = Chapters 4, 5, 6
Week three = Chapters 7, 8, 9
Week four = Chapter 10, 11
You can read faster if you want, but at the end of each week, this is a good pace to keep to finish the book.
