What does it mean to run the theme?

1. At least one month in advance, you'll let everyone know about the theme and your suggested reading for it. You need to suggest at least 3 works of fiction.
2. On the first of the month, you will post a welcome/introduction/kickoff for the theme.
3. Throughout the month, you'll take an active part in discussion of the theme.

You do not have to be an expert on the theme to run it. You just need to have an interest in it.

There's also Beryl Bainbridge's Master Georgie.

Ooh, have you read it? Is Bainbridge good? I've had her book "According to Queeney" on my shelf for over a year but haven't had a chance to crack the cover.

I haven't read Master Georgie, but I liked an earlier Bainbridge -- Another Part of the Wood -- and I hear consistently good things about her work.

I haven't read it, but the review makes me want to.
