Looks like it. I'll be sitting this one out as what I'm reading about it doesn't much interest me.

I will also be out, as I need to read Angle of Repose by October, and at the rate I read these days, I will not likely have time for multiple novels.

I liked Time Traveler's Wife a lot. No real desire to reread it, as I remember it pretty well. I don't desire that particular punch in the gut again yet either. Beautiful novel though. Painful. Very painful.

I'm going to start another book thread, as I need to rave about Edgar Mint some more.

Curious--why are you reading this one? Stegner seemed to be a favorite at one of my colleges--always on the shelves for classes I wasn't taking. I've been curious, but never curious enough to actually start reading one of his.

It's for Stanford reunion weekend. They're doing a book discussion lead by faculty:
Quote:

An alumni education offering designed to connect alumni through reading and discussing a thought-provoking book. Read Angle of Repose before Reunion Homecoming Weekend. Then, on Sunday morning of Reunion Homecoming Weekend, join fellow alumni and Stanford faculty in a discussion of this book.
Here's more information on the Book Salon.

That's cool. I was supposed to help lead something similar for incoming freshmen one year. Unfortunately the dorm RA's told the students they didn't have to show up, so the whole freshman book thing didn't get off to a very good start.

Poll closes on the 26th. 'Edgar' still has a chance to win!


Which ever book wins, it will give me an excuse to buy something.
