I can't fathom why people like his stuff. Aside from Christmas Carol they all just go on and on and on and on....damn serials.

Only one time in my life have I taken an essay exam on a book I never read. That book was Hard Times. Some lit class or another when I was an undergrad. Blahblahblah. Misery, misfortune, woe. Dickens and Cooper: just say no.

It's already there.

Score, we've got lots of people for our book club! Shall we set a date to finish with the book?

I'm in...
Fill me in the deets... we read the same book? Talk about a book we read?

Just wondering...

Am I alone in not being particularly enamoured with O. Henry. I'm about a third of the way through a collection of short stories and so far, I'm underwhelmed. Maybe I'm missing something.

Tom Robbins, on the other hand, is rocking my world.

Let's pick books that were made into movies. Then I could watch the movie and not read the book but still participate in the book club.

I'm too ADD to read books.

I'm presuming Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell is the first book - though I have yet to obtain a copy

However, anyone who would like to chat about Murakami, Niel Gaiman, or Duncan Glenn's I, Lucifer , which I'm reading at the moment, feel free to start a thread and I'll gladly join in.

Does that mean we have to buy 2 copies to get us both up to speed?

I'm reading The Devil in the White City at the moment. We can talk about that or any Murakami.

I loved Devil in the White City, read that last summer. Fascinating read, if a bit verbose.

OK, I think we have enough people in this thread alone to get this going. All I need is a "for sure" name of the book and a date that we're going to start talking about it... I'm cool with any book, I will not try to veto anything. If tracilicious' pick is cool with you, it's fine by me.
Let's start!
