Take a look,
It's in a book,
Reading RAYnbow!
Welcome to the first installment of Reading RAYnbow, the book club brought to you by the letters J, M, and the website Highlowaha - where creative ideas are born every day. Reading RAYnbow is not just any book club. It is where creativity meets a love of reading.
We have selected the first Reading RAYnbow book based on the recent response to a post on HLA. If you are interested in participating in future discussions, please go beg, borrow or steal (okay, don't steal, but you get the idea) a copy of The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and Jeffery Zaslow. Discussion on the first section of the book will begin Friday, August 8th. We hope you will meet us back here, to start reviewing this excellent read.
In the meantime, we are requesting suggestions for future book titles, topics, authors, and genres. Maybe you want to read Tuesdays with Morrie. Maybe you are interesting in reading something about balance, leadership, or spirituality. Maybe you want to read the newest Nicholas Sparks or J.K. Rowling. Maybe your interested in fiction or biographies. Pick your poison(s) and post as many as you like. We'll draw a suggestion whenever it is time to pick the next book. If you're not interested in Reading RAYnbow's first literary pick, please post your suggestions and check back for the next pick!
Watch for our lively mascot to post updates on HLA. Happy Reading!

Yay! Reading RAYnbow!!! How many chapters are we covering in the first discussion. I've already read the book but want to refresh.
Cheryl, we'll start discussion on just the first section.
Yay! I'm in, got my copy today!!
Bought the book 2 days ago and cant stop reading. Of course its only 200 pages so I am just finishing up. I hate not having a lot of time to read.... This book was such a great choice... see you Friday!!
I refreshed the first section yesterday at lunch! I have to choke back tears on this story! See you Friday!
Couldn't hold off so I read the book and finished it last night. Should have put a note on the sight that tissues were a necessity LOL. I cant wait to discuss it! Until then have a :) day.....
Hey everyone... I've checked in before, but am just now making a comment. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. It will be fun to hear different people's experiences with the book.
Also... a thought. I just read a GREAT article in the New Yorker about creativity and eureka moments. Maybe we could entertain the idea of some of our readings being an interesting article, short story, or excerpt from a book. Maybe a few short options mixed in with whole books will pull readers who don't think they have time for a whole book.
See you tomorrow.
